Introduction to Quadratic Sequences

Review the definition of quadratic sequences. A sequence is quadratic if the second difference between terms is constant. The general form is an^2 + bn + c.
1.
What is a quadratic sequence?
[2 marks]
2.
Identify the pattern in the sequence: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30.
[2 marks]
3.
Calculate the first differences for the sequence: 3, 8, 15, 24.
[3 marks]
4.
What is the second difference of the sequence: 1, 4, 9, 16?
[2 marks]
5.
True or False: All quadratic sequences have a constant first difference.

Applying Quadratic Sequences

Use your understanding of quadratic sequences to identify patterns and find missing terms.
1.
Find the next term in the sequence: 1, 4, 9, 16, ...
[2 marks]
2.
The sequence 3, 8, 15, 24 is quadratic. Find the formula for the nth term.
[4 marks]
3.
Determine whether the sequence 5, 12, 21, 32, ... is quadratic.
[2 marks]
4.
Given the sequence 2, 5, 10, 17, find the next term.
[2 marks]
5.
Explain why the sequence 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 is quadratic.
[3 marks]
C

Challenge and Real-World Applications

Attempt these challenging questions and think about how quadratic sequences appear in real life.
1.
A ball is thrown upwards, and its height in meters after t seconds is given by h = -5t^2 + 10t + 2. Find the time when the ball reaches its maximum height.
[4 marks]
2.
A pothole is being fixed, and the depth of the pothole over time (in days) is modeled by d = 2t^2 - 4t + 3. When is the deepest point?
