Be able to do the following types of problems:

ÿ       Classify a sequence when given the rule or some terms.

ÿ       Given an arithmetic or geometric sequence, write both the explicit and recursive rule.

ÿ       Given a rule, generate terms of a sequence.

ÿ       Given a “neither” sequence, write an explicit and recursive rule.

ÿ       Given two terms of an arithmetic sequence, algebraically determine the first term and “d” in order to write the rule(s).

ÿ       Given two terms of a geometric sequence, algebraically determine the first term and “r” in order to write the rule(s).

ÿ       Solve for an unknown if consecutive terms are given as arithmetic or geometric.

ÿ       Prove (generally!) that a rule is either geometric or arithmetic.

ÿ       Expand sigma notation and evaluate the sum.

ÿ       Use your calculator to find a sum.
