Question 1163189: Consider the arithmetic sequence whose first few entries are 2,5,8,11,14...
Let Y be the entry in position X
a. Make a table of your X and Y values
X is Position and Y is Entry.
X (Position): 1 2 ..
Y (Entry): blank blank ..
b. Graph the points from your table
c. Explain how to derive an equation realting X and Y by describing how characteristics of your equation are related to the graph and to the way the sequence grows

(a)   Why don'y YOU make a table on your own ?

(b)   Why don'y you graph the points on your own ?

(c)   On how derive an equatiaon,  read these introductory lessons on arithmetic progressions
