Vocabulary (Logs) • Linear • Like a straight line • Nonlinear • Not forming a straight line • Linear Data • every item is related to its previous and next item • Common Difference • The difference between each number in an arithmetic series
Vocabulary (Logs) • Inductive Reasoning • constructs or evaluates propositions that are abstractions of observations of individual instances • a general conclusion is arrived at by specific examples • Deductive Reasoning • reasoning from one or more general statements regarding what is known to reach a logically certain conclusion • using given true premises to reach a conclusion that is also true • Conjecture • Educated Guess
Activity • Linear Number Patterns • Relationship between terms • Generate formulas for the following: • 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, … Find the 25th term • 2n-1 • 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, … Find the 100th term • 4n • Arithmetic Sequence • an = a1 + (n - 1)d
Vocabulary (Logs) • Figurate Numbers • a number that can be represented by a regular geometrical arrangement of equally spaced points
Activity 1 4 9 16 25 n2 n n x n How do the dimensions compare to number of the figure? What would the dimensions of the nth figure be? Is the pattern linear? Enter data from columns 1 and 3 into graphing calculators & plot. Why is this called a square number pattern? Generate a regression equation.
Activity 2 6 12 20 30 n2 + n n n x (n + 1) How do the dimensions compare to number of the figure? What would the dimensions of the nth figure be? Is the pattern linear?
