Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to graph sequences and identify patterns.
1. Consider the sequence: 3, 6, 9, 12, ... a) What is the next term in the sequence?
b) Describe the pattern of this sequence.
2. Graph the first five terms of the sequence given by the rule an = 2n + 1. Label your axes.
3. Which of the following sequences is represented by the points (1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 6), (4, 8)?
an = n + 1
an = 2n
an = n^2
an = n - 1
4. Fill in the blanks to complete the sequence: 1, 4, 9, , 25, , 49
5. A graph of an arithmetic sequence will always form a straight line.
True
False
6. The graph below shows the first few terms of a sequence. Describe the pattern and write a rule for the nth term.
