Understanding Arithmetic Sequences and Linear Functions

This video tutorial explains how arithmetic sequences can be represented as linear functions. It covers function notation, graphing ordered pairs, and deriving explicit rules for sequences. The tutorial also addresses common misunderstandings about arithmetic sequences and demonstrates how to calculate specific terms using the explicit rule. By graphing these sequences, the video shows their linear nature and how they relate to linear functions.
