Lesson 5Don’t Break the ChainSolidify Understanding

The same sequence is shown in both a table and a graph. Indicate on the table where you see the rate of change of the sequence. Then draw on the graph where you see the rate of change.

Set

In the next problems, you are given various types of information. Write the recursive and explicit functions for each geometric sequence. Finally, graph each sequence, making sure you clearly label the axes.
