Mastering Linear Functions and Equations

What is an equation?

• A mathematical sentence that contains an equal sign

• A mathematical sentence without an equal sign

• A mathematical sentence that describes a function

• A mathematical sentence that contains an inequality symbol

How do you solve an equation with variables on both sides?

• By adding the variables together

• By subtracting one variable from the other

• By dividing both sides by the coefficient of the variable

• By getting variables on the same side and simplifying

How do you write the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence?

• a_n = d(a_1 + n - 1)

• a_n = a_1d^n

• a_n = a_1 + d/n
