Sequences, Graphs and Functions

Mathematics

Graphs
● A linear graph is a graph in the form of a line.
● All graphs have y-axes and x-axes
● X-axes are horizontal while y-axes are vertical
● A linear graph has the formula of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and
c is the y-intercept.
● The gradient of a graph is the steepness of it
● If the value of the gradient is positive, the line is going upward VCds
● If the value of the gradient is negative, the line is going downwards
● The intersection of two points in a linear graph is the solution to the
pair of lines/simultaneous equations.

●
●
● Graphs of direct proportion cross the origin (0,0).
● The inverse of a linear function is different from a linear function, as its
domain and ranges are opposites.
\
E.g. Find the inverse of f(x) = 3x-5)

Sequences
● A sequence is a pattern in multiple terms grouped together
● Patterns are usually adding a constant number to each of the terms, or
subtracting a constant number.
E.g. 5,7,9,11… the pattern in the sequence is adding 2 to each term.
● These sequences can be represented using an equation.
E.g. for the above sequence, the representation is y = 3+2n, where y is
the next term and n is the number of the term is the sequence.
● This can help find the nth term of a sequence, where n is a given
whole number.
●

E.g. if we were supposed to find the 48th tern, we could do 3+2(49) =


101.
● To find the nth term, use the formula a(n) = a(1)+(n-1)d, where a(n) is
the term needed to be found, a(1) is the first term, n is the term
number of a(n) and d is the difference.
