Understanding Linear Sequences

What is the first step in finding the nth term of a linear sequence?

• Subtract the correction from the term

• Multiply by the term number

• Find the jump value

• Identify the correction value

If the jump value is 3, what is the formula for the nth term before applying any correction?

• 3n

• n + 3

• 3n - 1

• 3n + 1

How do you adjust the formula if the calculated term is higher than the actual sequence value?

• Add the difference

• Multiply by the difference

• Subtract the difference

• Divide by the difference

In a sequence with a jump value of 10, what correction is needed if the calculated term is 30 but the actual term is 22?

• Add 8

• Add 10

• Subtract 10

• Subtract 8

For a sequence with a negative jump value, what is the initial step in forming the nth term formula?

• Ignore the jump value

• Add the jump value

• Use a positive jump value

• Multiply by the negative jump value
