Arithmetic Sequence Linear

Which sequence is NOT an arithmetic sequence?

• -7, -13, -19, -25,...

• -10, -6, -2, 2,..

• 6, 8, 10, 12,...

• 3, 15, 75, 375,...

Create the explicit formula for the sequence: 2, 8, 14, ...

(Hint: Use the common difference AND the zero term!.)

• a_n = 6n + 2

• a_n = 6n - 6

• a_n = 6n - 4

• a_n = -6n + 4

An arithmetic sequence is an example of a linear function.

• True, because having a common difference also means it has a constant rate of change

• False, because it's not shown on a graph
