A. Apply the given rule to complete the tables below:

1.

Table 1
n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
n-5 -4 -3            

2.

Table 2
n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
2n+1 3 -5            

3.

Table 3
n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
3n-2 1 4            

4.

Table 4
n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
5n+7 12 17            

B. Find the rule used in each table and use it to generate the answers in each table below:

1.

Table 5
1 2 3 4 5 6 9 n 17 20
3 9 15 21 27 33        

2.

-4 4 12 20 28 36        

4.

Table 8
1 2 3 4 5 6   n   20
0 7 14 21 28 35        

C. Complete and then prove each of the following conjectures:

  1. The sum of any two consecutive odd natural numbers is ________________

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
