5. Abby has been absent from class. How would you explain to her what
absolute value is? Use the number line and an example in your
explanation.

Anne found the 10th term of the following sequence. her steps are shown below. 3, 7, 11, 15, … 1. common difference = 4, a1 = 3 2. an = 3 + (n - 1)4 3. an = 3 + 4n - 4 4. an = 4n - 1 5. a10 = 4(10) – 1 6. a10 = 39 analyze anne’s work. is she correct? if not, what was her mistake? yes, she is correct. no, she needed to find the common ratio because it is a geometric sequence. no, she substituted the wrong values into the rule to find the equation that represented the sequence. no, she solved for the 10th term incorrectly.
