Read each question carefully and follow the instructions. Show all your work when necessary.

1. Graph the first 5 terms of the sequence given by the rule a_n = 2n + 1. Label your axes.

2. Consider the sequence: 3, 6, 9, 12, ... a) The common difference is . b) The next two terms in the sequence are and . c) The rule for the nth term (a_n) of this sequence is .

3. Which of the following graphs represents an arithmetic sequence?

4. A sequence starts with 5 and each subsequent term is found by adding 3 to the previous term.

a) Write the first 4 terms of this sequence.

b) Write a rule for the nth term (a_n) of this sequence.
