For numbers 36 to 50, consider the following (READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY):
On a separate sheet of intermediate pad, create a problem which involves an arithmetic sequence whose two nth
terms are known. Find the common difference, the first term, and the nth term you wish to obtain. Each of the first and
second terms in the problem, including the nth term you wish to obtain should not exceed 100. [Hint: For each equation in
finding each term, use the equation an a1 n 1d ]
Sample Problem:
The _____ and _____ terms of an arithmetic sequence are _____ and _____, respectively. Determine the _____
term.
Points Description
3 The first equation is correctly written where the first nth term is included.
3 The second equation is correctly written where the second nth term is included.
3 The first term of the arithmetic sequence is correctly determined using the first and second equations.
3 The common difference of the common difference is correctly determined using the first and second
equations.
3 The nth term aside from the two nth terms given in the problem is correctly determined using the first and
second equations.
