Problem of the Day Just by seeing one term, Angela was able to tell whether a certain sequence was geometric or arithmetic. What was the term, and which kind of sequence was it? 0; arithmetic sequence (There is no unique common ratio that would create a geometric sequence.) Course Other Sequences

The first five triangular numbers are shown below Course Other Sequences

To continue the sequence, you can draw the triangles, or you can look for a pattern. If you subtract every term from the one after it, the first differences create a new sequence. If you do not see a pattern, you can repeat the process and find the second differences. Term Triangular Number First differences Second differences Course Other Sequences

Use first and second differences to find the next three terms in the sequence. 1, 8, 19, 34, 53,... Additional Example 1A: Using First and Second Differences The next three terms are 76, 103, 134. Sequence st Differences 2nd Differences Course Other Sequences
