(a) The first term of a sequence is -5 The rule for continuing the sequence.
Multiply by 4
then
Subtract 3
What is the second term of the sequence?

The second term is -23

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1- multiply

4x-5=-20

Step 2- subtract

-20 - 3=-23

Sequence 1 is arithmetic, sequence 2 is geometric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sequence 1 is being subtracted by 16 each time, so it is arithmetic.

Sequence 2 is being divided by 2 each time, so it is geometric.

Both, sequence 1 and 2, have terms 32 and 16.
