  1. Patterns to Equations

  2. Find the next three terms in the pattern: 1, 4, 7, . . .

  3. Find the tenth term in the pattern: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, . . . 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 10th ?

  4. The tenth term is 28 28 28 28 28 28

  5. Now find the one-hundredth term: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, . . . 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 100th ?

  6. You don’t really want to write out 100 terms, do you? 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, . . . 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 100th ?

  7. If so, go ahead and find the 1,000th term. 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, . . . 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 1000th ?

  8. If not, we need to find a better way. 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, . . . 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 1000th ?

  9. One way would be to write an equation which maps the number’s rank . . . 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, . . . 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 1000th ?

  10. . . . onto the number itself. 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, . . . 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 1000th ?

  11. Now 4 will map onto 10, 6 will map onto 16, and so forth. 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, . . . 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 1000th ?

  12. And 6 will be an x-value to correspond with a y-value of 16. 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, . . . 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 1000th ?

  13. How can we write the equation? 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, . . . 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 1000th ?

  15. We can start with an equation,

  16. and see what pattern develops.

  17. What happens to y each time x increases by 1? +1 +1 +4 +4

  18. Each time x increases by 1, y increases by 4. +1 +1 +4 +4

  19. Look at the equation we used to get those numbers.

  20. Notice the 4.

  21. Let’s try this equation: Predict what y will do as x increases by 1.

  22. +1 +1 -3 -3

  23. There is a pattern working here. The amount y changes each time x increases by 1 is part of the equation.

  24. 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, . . . 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 100th ? So if we go back to the pattern we started with: +1 +1 +3 +3

  25. We see that y increases by 3 each time x increases by 1, and we can start writing the equation.

  26. We can get y by multiplying x by 3,

  27. and then adding or subtracting some number.

  28. When we use 1 for x, we know that y is also 1,

  29. so we get,

  30. What does b have to be to make the equation true?

  31. Now we can complete the equation.

  32. What is the 100th term in the pattern? 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, . . . 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 100th ?

  33. These are the steps we took to write the equation:

  34. 1. Find the change in y each time x changes by 1. +1 +1 -4 -4

  35. 2. Begin writing the equation, , using the change in y as m.

  36. 3. Calculate b, using the numbers from our table.

  37. 3. Calculate b, using the numbers from our table.

  38. 3. Calculate b, using the numbers from our table.

  39. 3. Calculate b, using the numbers from the table.

  40. 4. Write the final equation.

  41. Write the equation: 1. 2. 3.

  42. Answers: 1. 2. 3. * Press Enter

  43. Did you notice that x is increasing by 2, not one? If y increases 10 every time x increases 2, what is the increase in y as x increases 1? 3.
