Algebra Lesson 3-4 Quiz v5

Which statement describes the sequence -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, ...?

Which of the following is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of -3?

Match each sequence with its explicit formula.
For every sequence, let the first term be a_{1}.

		a_{n}=-12+(n-1)(-19)
		a_{n}=-19+(n-1)(-12)
		a_{n}=12+(n-1)(-12)
		a_{n}=-19n
		a_{n} = 31n

Complete the recursive definition of the sequence 6, 3, 0, -3, ...
a_{1}=6

a_{n} = ___________________

Questions 5-7 pertain to the following scenario:

To make it easier to work with dates, most computer systems store the date as a single number, not a combination of three number for year, month, and day. For example, Microsoft Excel counts the day January 1, 1900 as '1', and then every next day is one number higher. See the table below for an illustration.

Assume that "today" is the day 44285.

In this system, you want to produce a list of dates for a calendar event, starting with today, 44285, and recurring every 5 days.
