Guided Notes:

Lets do some guided notes on the provided paper.

Start with the table and graph, complete right now. (in pencil in case you need to make a change later)
  1. Table (Numerical)
  2. Graph (Graphical)
  3. Explicit Equation
  4. Recursive Equation (Function Notation)
Today's Learning Goal:
  • Introduce function notation for writing recursive equations.
  • Solidify understanding of examining change between terms in a diagram, a table, a graph, an explicit equation, and a recursive equation.
Today's Materials:
  1. Laptop
  2. Pencil
  3. Guided Note Sheet
Please complete the Jump Start (activator). You have 5 minutes before we review. This is independent it should be silent.

How are arithmetic sequences different from geometric sequences?

Scott's Workout

Scott has decided to add push-ups to his daily exercise routine. He is keeping track of the number of push-ups he completes each day in the given bar graph, with day 1 showing he completed 3 push-ups. After four days, Scott is certain he can continue this pattern of increasing the number of push-ups he completes each day.

Question 4
4.

What type of sequence is your model for the number of push-ups that Scott did? How do you know?

(Arithmetic, Geometric, or neither)

Lets try together...
a. Find the next three terms in each sequence,
b. Identify the common difference,
c. Write a recursive function,
d. Write a explicit function,
for each sequence.

Hint: The first number is n=1,not n=0.
