Practice Exercises Arithmetic Sequence and Series 1. 45th term of an arithmetic sequence having a = 3 and d = 8 is: 2. Find the last term of an arithmetic sequence whose a = 1, d = 2 and n = 1001. 3. Find the sum of the positive terms of the arithmetic sequence 85, 78, 71, … 1 4. A theater has 32 rows of seats. If there are 26 seats in the 1st row, 30 in the 2nd, 34 in the 3rd, and so on, how many seats are there in all? Assume the pattern continues. Geometric Sequence and Series 1. Find the 8th term of the sequence -1, -3, -9, -27,... 2. Find the common ratio, r, in the sequence 31104, 5184, 864, ___, ___, ___,. 3. The common ratio of a geometric sequence is 3 and the sum of the first five terms is 968. Find the value of the first term. 4. A population of ants is growing at a rate of 8% a year. If there are 160 ants in the initial population, find the number of ants after 6 years. Harmonic and Fibonacci Sequence 1. Find out the next terms in the given Fibonacci sequence 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, ___, ___, ___. 2. What is the value of the 21st term of the harmonic progression: 1/5, 1/9, 1/13, 1/14.....? Sets and Set Operations with Problem-Solving 1. Let U = {{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}; A = {1, 3, 5, 7}, B = {2, 4, 6, 8} and C = {3, 6, 9, 0}. Find the following: a) A È B b) B Ç C c) A’ Ç B’ d) (A È B)’ 2. A group of students were asked whether they are like basketball, softball, or both. If 456 like basketball, 384 like softball, and 252 like both games, how many students were there? 3. A survey of 100 fourth year high school students revealed that 42 like mathematics, 62 like Filipino, 44 like History, 22 like both Math and History, 25 like both Math and Filipino, 17 like Filipino and History, and 10 like all the three subjects. How many like Math only? Filipino only? History only? How many did not like any of the three subjects? Polya’s Problem-Solving Strategy 1. A new burger restaurant offers two kinds of buns, three kinds of meats, and two types of condiments. How many different burger combinations are possible that have one type of bun, one type of meat, and one condiment type? 2. Karen is thinking of a number.
