What is the difference between an additive pattern and a subtractive pattern?

Back

An additive pattern increases the value of each term by a constant amount, while a subtractive pattern decreases the value of each term by a constant amount.

How can you express a pattern rule algebraically?

Back

A pattern rule can be expressed using an equation, such as n = a + d(k-1), where n is the nth term, a is the first term, d is the common difference, and k is the term number.
