Practice Problems

Try them, get help one step at a time, then print how it went.

Practice: try it, then get help one step at a time

Find r, write both rules, find a far term, and say what a function value means. Hint gives a nudge, Show next step shows one worked step at a time, Reveal answer checks, and Hide help / start over clears the card. Power first, then multiply.

My results

Finished the practice? Print a page that shows each question, what you typed or chose, the correct answer, and how it went. Good for showing a teacher or keeping in a folder.

Exit ticket

On paper or an index card. Use the math word and the plain-English word.

  1. Find r for 4, 12, 36, 108, and write the recursive rule.
  2. Write the explicit rule and find the 6th term.
  3. A sequence has r = 34. Do its terms grow or shrink? Will they reach 0?
  4. f(x) = 400 · (12)x. What does f(3) = 50 mean?

  1. r = 3. a1 = 4, an = 3 · an − 1.
  2. an = 4 · 3n − 1. a6 = 4 · 243 = 972.
  3. Shrink (r is between 0 and 1). Never 0: a fraction of a positive number is still positive.
  4. After 3 halvings, 50 is left.
