Linear functions

Linear functions

1. Sequence

   • the act or process of following in order or sequence
   • infinite
     • a sequence that has no end
   • increasing sequence
     • sequence in which each term is greater than the previous one
   • finite
     • a sequence that has an end
   • decreasing sequence
     • Sequence in which each term is less than the previous one
   • alternating series
     • An expressions "of the form"
   • general term
     • a mathematical expression that can produce a valid term in the sequence

2. Term

   • Every quantity in a mathematical expression
   • "nth" term
     • it allows you to find ANY term without having to go from one term to the next

3. Common difference

   • The difference between each number in an arithmetic sequence
