Outcomes

In this lesson you will

• use the second-level difference  and the solution to two linear equations to determine the rule used to generate a quadratic sequence.

By the end of this section students will be able to:

• demonstrate an understanding of patterns that are arithmetic, power, and geometric, and relate then to corresponding functions
• analyze tables and graphs to distinguish between linear, quadratic, and exponential relationships
• sketch graphs from descriptions, tables, and collected data
• determine the equation of a quadratic function using finite differences

Prerequisites

To be successful in this lesson, it would be helpful to know the following:

• solve a system of linear equations.
