Frankenstein Tables!

Homework:

Complete Nth term/Pattern Worksheet. ALL.

Classwork:

Begin Nth term/Pattern Worksheet.

Notes:

change in y/change in x = ∆y/∆x = rise/run = slope = m

Linear v. Non-Linear: An equation can be identified as linear if the equation can be written as y = mx + b. If there is an exponent on a variable (x², x³, etc.) The equation is not linear. Linear equations look like a line if you graph them. Non-linear equations have curves in their graphs.

Advanced math notation: "∆" stands for "the change in." When talking about out Frankenstein tables we use ∆x and ∆y.

∆y represents the change in y from position to position in the pattern. ∆x is change in x from position to position (many times 1).

  1. Find the nth term in a number pattern

    .Example 1:4,8,12,16,20 find the 100th term
    .Put the change in the y over the change in the x 4/1
    .Delta y =(change in)y="delta y"
    .Lets try one more find the 67th term 4,9,14,19,24
