    Study Notes

    Arithmetic Sequences

    • Explicit formula: an = a1 + (n − 1)d
      • an represents the nth term
      • a1 is the first term
      • n is the term number
      • d is the common difference

    Functions

    • A relation is a function if each input (x-value) has only one output (y-value).
    • Verifying if a relation is a function:
      • Check if any x-values are repeated in the relation. If an x-value is repeated, and the y-values are different, the relation is not a function.

    Function Tables

    • Given a function rule, a function table lists corresponding input (x) and output (y) values.

    Domains

    • The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values).
    • Reasonable domains often consider practical limitations or restrictions.

    Arithmetic Sequences (Example)

    • If Gary starts with 25 cards and gets 3 more each week, the number of cards after n weeks can be described by an arithmetic sequence:
      • A(n) = 25 + (n - 1) * 3
