standard_description: Use inverse functions to solve trigonometric equations that arise in modeling contexts; evaluate the solutions using technology, and interpret them in terms of the context.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Four sequences are shown below. Which one does not belong and why?
|  $${4, 8, 12, 16, 20 ...}$$  |    $${50, 46, 42, 38, 34, ...}$$    |
|------------------------------|-------------------------------------|
| $${1, 4, 16, 64, 216, ...}$$ | $${1600, 400, 100, 25, 12.5, ...}$$ |
Problem 2
Complete each sequence by filling in the missing terms. Then identify each sequence as arithmetic or geometric and name the common difference or common ratio.
a.
$${-2}$$
,
$$4$$
, ___, ___, ___,
$${28}$$
, ...
b.
$${{1\over2}}$$
, ___, ___,
$$4$$
,
$$8$$
, ___, …
c.
$$5$$
, ___, ___, ___,
$${2{1\over3}}$$
,
$${1{2\over3}}$$
, ...
d.   ___,
