1. State whether each of the following sequences are arithmetic, geometric or neither:

1.1) x/y²; -x²/y; x³;…
1.2) tan 30°; tan 45°; tan 60°

2. 3x-1; 2x+3; 2x-1 are the first 3 terms of an arithmetic sequence. Find:
2.1) the value of x
2.2) the sequence
2.3) which term in the sequence is -57 ?

Answer:

**1. Sequences:**

**1.1) x/y²; -x²/y; x³;...**

- This sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric. The terms involve different powers of \(x\) and \(y\), and there's no consistent common difference or ratio.

**1.2) tan 30°; tan 45°; tan 60°**

- This sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric. The terms involve tangent values of different angles, and there's no consistent common difference or ratio.

**2. Arithmetic Sequence:**

Given the arithmetic sequence \(3x-1; 2x+3; 2x-1\),

**2.1) Find the value of x:**

- Identify the common difference between terms.

- \((2x+3) - (3x-1) = -x + 4\)

- Set \( -x + 4 = 2x - 1\), solve for \(x\).

**2.2) Find the sequence:**

- Once \(x\) is found, substitute it back into the original sequence.

**2.3) Find which term is -57:**

- Plug the value of \(x\) into the sequence formula, and solve for \(n\) when \(3x-1 = -57\).
