This table shows the value of a car two years after it was made. If the values form a geometric sequence, what is the common multiplier between terms? (You may use your calculator.)
This table shows the value of a car 2 years after it was made. If the values continue to follow the same geometric sequence, what is the car's value after 3 years? (You may use your calculator.) £___
This table shows the value of a car two years after it was made. Why might this sequence not continue as the same geometric sequence forever?
Which two sequences can be added to make the first 5 terms of a linear sequence?
Order these terms so they form part of a Collatz sequence: "If the term is even, the next term is half the previous term. If the term is odd, the next term is 3 times the previous term add 1".
