Question in Transition to university
Differentiate between linear and quadratic sequences and arithmetic and geometric sequences through a series of multiple choice questions. Spot different patterns in sequences like the triangle sequence, square sequence and cubic sequence and then use this pattern to find the next three terms in each of the sequences.
