5. Use a Table to Analyze a Sequence
Use a table to write an expression that can be used to find the nth term of the sequence 6, 12, 18, 24, …. Then use the expression to find the next three terms.
Make a table to analyze the pattern.
The terms have a common difference of 6. Also, each term is 6 times its term number.
Example 1

6. Use a Table to Analyze a Sequence
An expression that can be used to find the nth term is 6n.
The next three terms are 6(5) or 30, 6(6) or 36, and 6(7) or 42.
Answer: 6n; 30, 36, 42
Example 1

7. Use a table to write an expression that can be used to find the nth term of the sequence 8, 16, 24, 32, …. Then use the expression to find the next three terms.
A. 4n; 36, 40, 44
B. 6n; 36, 42, 48
C. 8n; 40, 48, 56
D. 12n; 36, 48, 60

8. Use a Table to Analyze a Sequence
Use a table to write an expression that can be used to find the nth term of the sequence 3, 7, 11, 15, …. Then use the expression to find the next three terms.
The terms have a common difference of 4. Start with 4n. Then subtract 1 to get the term. So, the expression to find the nth term is 4n – 1.
Example 2

9. Use a Table to Analyze a Sequence
The next three terms are 4(5) – 1 or 19, 4(6) – 1 or 23, and 4(7) – 1 or 27.
Answer: 4n – 1; 19, 23, 27
Example 2

10. Use a table to write an expression that can be used to find the nth term of the sequence 7, 10, 13, 16, …. Then use the expression to find the next three terms.
A. 3n + 4; 19, 22, 25
B. 3n – 4; 11, 14, 17
C. 4n + 3; 23, 27, 31
D. 4n – 3; 17, 21, 25

TRANSPORTATION The table shows the cost of a taxi ride for 1, 2, 3, and 4 miles. What would be the cost of a 9-mile ride?
Example 4

15. Use a Table to Analyze a Sequence
Evaluate the expression when m = 9.
1.75m = 1.75(9) Replace m with 9.
= Multiply 1.75 and 9.
= Simplify.
Answer: It will cost $19.25 for a 9-mile ride.
Example 4
