• number you get from using the rule.

• number which shows which number I am looking at in a pattern. E.g. To find a rule I need to find the first and second term and see the difference between both.

Find the 20th term for the sequence (pattern) that has the rule T= 2n + 3

• T= 43

• T= 34

• T= 23

• T= I don't know

Find the 15th Sequence for T= 3n + 5

• T= 6

• T= 40

• T=50

• T= 33

What is the sequence of this list:

7,11,15,19, 23

• The sequence goes up by 4

• The sequence goes down by 4

• The sequence goes up by 3

• The sequence goes down by 3

Write the formula in words

T= 2n + 5

• Any number can. be found by adding 3 and then multiplying 2

• Any number can be found by multiplying by 5 and adding 2

• Any number can be found by multiplying by 5 and then adding 0

• Any number can be found by multiplying by 2 and then adding 5

Which number is the zero term in the formula:

T= 2n + 5

• 5

• 0

• 1

• 2
