Relation: A “mapping” or pairing of input values to output values. Anything that can be written as a set of ordered pairs.
Function: A relation where each input has exactly one output.

3. Group the following words into two groups
Independent variable Input x-value Range Dependent Variable Domain y-value

6. Parent function: The most basic function in
a family of functions.
For lines: y = x is the “parent function”

13. How do you graph? Check on the graphing calculator
Graph y = (2/3)x – 1 and x – 5y = 25

14. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the following lines.
2x – 3y = 12
Runs through (-1, 4), slope = 2
Runs through the points (3, -2) and (-1, 4)

15. What is a sequence?
Sequence: an ordered progression of numbers (a list)
5, 10, 15, 20, 25
Finite sequence
2, 4, 8, 16, 32, …,2ⁿ,…
Infinite sequence
“32,…, 2ⁿ” means the numbers of the pattern continue between the two given terms.
“2ⁿ,…” means the numbers of the pattern continue forever.
“2ⁿ,…, 264” means the numbers of the pattern continue until the last term in the sequence (264)

16. How is a sequence a relation between input and output?
-9, -6, -3, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15
What are the input values?

17. The range of a sequence is the actual sequence of numbers.
The domain of a sequence is almost always the “natural numbers” k 1 -9 2 -6 3 -3 4 5 6 7 9 8 12 15
The input value is the position in the sequence (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.)
The range of a sequence is the actual sequence of numbers.
The output values are the individual numbers of the sequence.

18. Represents the sequence named “a” which has subscript “k” to identify the “kth” term of the sequence.
Defines a “rule” so that you can find the “kth” term =
We call this method of defining the sequence “set-builder” notation.
Spoken: “the sequence ‘a’ is defined as 2k +3 with ‘k’ taking on the values 1, 2, 3, and so forth”

19. Let’s make a table of values that contains the input/output pairs for the first 6 numbers of sequence ‘a’. = k 1 2 3 4 5 6

20. This is how we write a linear equation that contains the ordered pairs in the table below.=
Slope= k 1 2 3 4 5 6

21. Your turn: Write a linear equation that contains the ordered pairs in the table below.= x 1 2 3 4 5 6

22. Arithmetic Sequence: a sequence where there is a “constant difference” between each of the adjacent terms. = k 1 2 3 4 5 6
Arithmetic Sequence: each pair of adjacent terms has the same “common difference”
Note: the “common difference” becomes the slope of the linear equation passing through each ordered pair.

23. = How is a sequence similar to a linear function?k 1 2 3 4 5 6 = 5 11 7 13 9 15 5 11 7 13 9 15
How is a sequence similar to a linear function?
How is a sequence different from a linear function?

24. Your turn: write the equation that contains the x-y pairs in the table.
f(x) 1 -9 2 -6 3 -3 4 5 6 7 9 8 12 15
Your turn: Define the following sequence of numbers using “set builder” notation.
-9, -6, -3, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15

25. Two ways to write a formula to define the numbers in a sequence.
Explicitly Defined Sequence
Recursively Defined Sequence
These two methods can be used for all sequences, not just arithmetic sequences.

26. Explicitly Defined Arithmetic Sequence
Where (and k = 1,2,3,…)
In explicitly defined sequences, you can calculate the “kth”
term directly  you don’t have to find any term before it
in order to find the “kth” term.
Your Turn:
What is the 3rd term of this sequence?

27. Examples Sequences Where (and m = 1,2,3,4)
Running total: if your car payment is $200/month, a running total would look like:
Month 1 2 3 4
Total ($)
200
400
600
800
Your Turn:
1. Is this an arithmetic sequence?
2. Define this sequence explicitly and name it “C”.
Where (and m = 1,2,3,4)

28. Recursively Defined Sequences have three parts.
For all n > 1
Specifies the initial element of the sequence.
Gives a way to show the relation
between adjacent elements of the sequence.
‘n’ acts as a counter for the sequence

29. Recursively Defined Sequences
For all n > 1
Your turn: Find the 3rd term of the sequence.
In order to find the 3rd term, we need to find out what the 2nd term is:
4, 6, 8, 10, 12,…
Your turn: Is this an arithmetic sequence?
Your turn: What is the common difference?
Your turn: What is explicit formula for the sequence?

30. Your Turn:
Find the 4 term of the following recursively defined
sequence.
For: n ≥ 2
Is the sequence arithmetic?
How can you tell from the sequence definition above?

31. Your turn: Define the following sequence of numbers recursively.
-9, -6, -3, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15
For 1 < n ≤ 9
Explicitly defined:

32. “Generalized” formulas for Arithmetic Sequences
-9, -6, -3, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15
Recursively Defined:
For all n > 1
d = common difference
Explicitly Defined:
For all n ≥ 1
