Read each question carefully and provide your answers. For graphing questions, plot the points accurately on the provided coordinate plane.
1. Consider the sequence defined by a_n = 2n + 1. Plot the first 5 terms of this sequence on the graph below. What type of sequence is this?
2. The graph of a sequence shows points that are increasing rapidly and curve upwards. Which of the following best describes this sequence?
Arithmetic sequence with a positive common difference
Geometric sequence with a common ratio greater than 1
Arithmetic sequence with a negative common difference
Geometric sequence with a common ratio between 0 and 1
3. A sequence is graphed with points (1, 8), (2, 4), (3, 2), (4, 1). The next term in the sequence would be , and the general formula for this sequence is a_n = .
