Practice (continued)

Form G

Determine whether each list is a sequence or a series and finite or infinite.

29. 7, 12, 17, 22, 27 30. 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + … 31. 8, 8.2, 8.4, 8.6, 8.8, 9.0, …

35. An embroidery pattern calls for five stitches in the first row and for three more stitches in each successive row. The 25th row, which is the last row, has

77 stitches. Find the total number of stitches in the pattern.

36. A marching band formation consists of 6 rows. The first row has 9 musicians, the second has 11, the third has 13 and so on. How many musicians are in the last row and how many musicians are there in all?

39. Error Analysis A student identifies the series 10 + 15 + 20 + 25 + 30 as an infinite arithmetic series. Is he correct? Explain.

41. To train new employees, an employer offers a bonus after 30 work days as follows. An employee must turn in one report on the first day; the number of reports for each subsequent day must increase by two. What is the minimum number of reports an employee will have to turn in over the 30 days to earn the bonus?
