Essential Learnings • Students will understand and be able to determine the function rule for a sequence. • Students will understand and be able to model mathematical problems.
Vocabulary • Linear function – a function that creates a line when graphed. • Function rule – a rule that gives you the nth term in a sequence.
Example 1 Tell whether or not the rule is a linear function.
Example 2 Tell whether or not the rule is a linear function.
Example 3 Find the function rule for each sequence. Then find the 50th term in the sequence.
Example 4 Find the function rule for each sequence. Then find the 50th term in the sequence.
Example 5 Find the rule of the number of tiles in the nth figure. Then find the number of tiles in the 100th figure.
Rectangular Numbers Rectangular numbers are numbers that can be arranged in a rectangular pattern of dots.
