Substitute \(n=1,2,3,4\).
The \(n\)th term of 10, 8, 6, 4 is
\(d=-2\), \(10+2=12\).
Which sequence is geometric?
Multiply by 2 each time.
The rule for 3, 5, 9, 17 is
\(3\times2-1=5\), \(5\times2-1=9\).
Is 41 in the sequence \(4n+1\)?
\(4n=40\).
(Higher) The \(n\)th term of 2, 6, 12, 20 is
Second difference 2, so \(n^2\); remainder \(n\).
(Higher) The 8th term of 5, 10, 20, 40, ... is

How to use these Year 10 sequences multiple choice questions
First, read each question carefully before you look at the four answers. Then work the answer out on paper, so that you do not simply guess. After that, read the explanation, even when you are right. If you score less than 7 out of 10, go back to the sequences lesson.
Finally, practise more with the sequences worksheet and the quiz. Moreover, all the pages of this chapter work together, so you can move between them at any time. For example, many pupils read the lesson on Monday, practise on Wednesday and test themselves on Friday.
