Concept explainers
a. Consider the arithmetic sequence
5, 7,9,11,13, . . .
Let y be the entry in position x. Explain in detail how to reason about the way the sequence grows to derive an equation of the form
where m and b are specific numbers related to the sequence.
b. Sketch a graph for the arithmetic sequence in part (a). Discuss how features of the graph are related to the components of your equation m part (a) and to the way the sequence grows
