Important Idea
In an arithmetic sequence,
when each term un is paired
with its position n, the
ordered pairs form a discrete
function whose domain is the
set of counting numbers.
 3,5,7,9,11,... Example
When n=1, u1 =3 (1,3)
When n=2, u2 =5 (2,5)
When n=3, u1 =7 (3,7)

line, then the slope of the
line through these points is

Depreciation is an accounting
term which describes a loss
of value with the passage of
time.

for $8000. Four years later
its value is $2320. Assume
linear depreciation.
a) Write the equation that
represents value as a
function of years.

linear depreciation.
b) Find its value 3 years
after it was purchased, that
is, the y value when x=3.
