Problem

  1. Can you find an arithmetic and a geometric sequence which each have second and fourth terms \[u_2=6 \quad\text{and}\quad u_4=54 \text{ ?}\]

  2. Can you find an arithmetic and a geometric sequence which each have \[u_2=-2, \quad u_3=4 \quad\text{and}\quad u_5=16 \text{ ?}\]

  3. A geometric sequence \(G\) has first term \(8\) and common ratio \(-\frac{1}{2}\). Can you find an arithmetic sequence that has the same first term and two other terms the same as the corresponding terms of \(G\)?

  4. Can you find an arithmetic and a geometric sequence that have four terms in common?
