Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to determine the properties and graphs of sequences.

1. Which type of sequence, when graphed, will always form a straight line?

Geometric sequence

Arithmetic sequence

Fibonacci sequence

Quadratic sequence

2. The points on the graph of a geometric sequence will typically lie on a(n) curve.

linear

parabolic

exponential

circular

3. The independent variable when graphing a sequence is typically the term .

4. For an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is constant.

5. Consider the arithmetic sequence: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14. Plot these points on the coordinate plane below.

6. Consider the geometric sequence: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16. Plot these points on the coordinate plane below.

7. The graph of an arithmetic sequence is a set of discrete points that form a straight line.

True

False

8. The graph of a geometric sequence with a common ratio greater than 1 will always decrease.

True

False
