Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve the sequence problem:
Given:
- The sequence starts at 900.
- The rule is: Subtract 40 each time.
Sequence so far:
900 → 860 → 820 → 780
Next two terms:
- Subtract 40 from 780:
- Subtract 40 from 740:
Complete sequence:
900 → 860 → 820 → 780 → 740 → 700
The next two terms are 740 and 700.

- What happens if we subtract a different value (e.g., 30) from the sequence?
- How do you represent this sequence as an algebraic formula?
- Can you find the 10th term of the sequence without listing all terms?
- How do arithmetic sequences differ from geometric sequences?
- What happens if we add a constant instead of subtracting?
Tip: Arithmetic sequences can be written in a formula form:
where is the first term, is the position, and is the common difference.
