To state: The pattern, the next term, nth rule for the sequence and then graph the first five terms
The resultant term is 35 and rule is
Given information:
The given sequence is
Explanation:
A sequence is a function whose domain is a set of consecutive integers. If a domain is not specified, it is understood that domain starts with 1.
Now consider the given sequence,
The given terms can be written as:
The next term is:
The first term is 3, the second term is 8, the third term is 15, the fourth term is 24, and the fifth term is 35.
These terms can be written as:
A rule for the nth term is
Now to draw the graph by plotting these points on the graph:
Therefore, the next term of the given sequence is 35 and the pattern it shows is
