Write the first five numbers for the sequence that follows the rule 1/4x+3
term1 = (1/4)(1) + 3 = 3.25 or 3 1/4 or 13/4
term2 = (1/4)(2) + 3 = 3.5 or 3 1/2 or 7/2
term3 = (1/4)(3) + 3 = 3.75 or 3 3/4 or 15/4
.....
etc
Thank you sooooo much! You ROCK!
To find the first five numbers in the sequence that follows the rule 1/4x + 3, we need to substitute different values of x and evaluate the expression.
Let's start by substituting x = 1:
1/4(1) + 3 = 1/4 + 3 = 1/4 + 12/4 = 13/4
Now, let's substitute x = 2:
1/4(2) + 3 = 2/4 + 3 = 2/4 + 12/4 = 14/4
For x = 3:
1/4(3) + 3 = 3/4 + 3 = 3/4 + 12/4 = 15/4
For x = 4:
1/4(4) + 3 = 4/4 + 3 = 4/4 + 12/4 = 16/4
And for x = 5:
1/4(5) + 3 = 5/4 + 3 = 5/4 + 12/4 = 17/4
Therefore, the first five numbers in the sequence that follows the rule 1/4x + 3 are: 13/4, 14/4, 15/4, 16/4, 17/4.
