This document provides a review for math chapters 7.1, 7.3, and A.7. It includes 8 practice problems covering determining if sequences are geometric, evaluating sigma notation expressions, finding heights of elastic objects after bouncing, determining membership growth over time, and simplifying algebraic expressions. The answers provided are: 1) a is geometric, c and b are not; 2) 150, 49/6, -1/30; 3) 105 cm total distance traveled; 4) 480 members in 5 years; 5) 32,662; 6) 2(3x-5); 7) (x-5)^3, x(21+2x^2)/(7+x)^3/2.
