Consider the sequence: 3, 7, 11, 15, 19,...
What would be the next three terms in the sequence? Can you write an algebraic rule to determine any term of the sequence? If so, what would be the 50th term of the sequence?

it's kind of obvious its going to be at least over 110
and all you have to do is keep on adding four to each number
just add 4 every time for the first part
the algebraic equation is (n+4).4=x
i agree with daniel g
i have to agree with adam on it
it will be definitely 200
i think it has to be over 100
ya josh though you are right it is barely over 200
i agree with daniel g
i also agree
i agree with adam on the algebraic equation
i think i already got the answer
never mind i meant to say at least 200
AGAIN
well 50 times 4 is 200 so of course it's over 100
so did i
so
adam i agree with u
it cant be more than 230 though but cant be less than 200
(3+4)*50=aaa
i agree
i think daniel g is right
another equation is 3+(49*)
i also agree with adam
i also agree with adam
true true very true
just messing around
but i do agree
n+4 is the algebraic equation
well actually the answer is going to be less than 210
true dat true dat
hi jonthan
i think the answer is between 200 and 205
that little 3 foot 1 grasshopper
is always right
i agree with him
never mind
he is 3 foot 2 and he is still always right
josh just stop talking okay!!!!!!!!!!
no i won't spot talking
ill come over there if u dont stop talking
u both shut up
josh spelled stop wrong haha
i think it is whatever adam says is right
y dont u shutup danny
hi josh
danny doesnt want to shut up
i think the answer is 199 because i'm the 3 foot 2 grasshopper
well ill make him shutup
meanie pants
hi danny
hhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiii
WWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shut up daniel
I have two comments:
1. all you boys that are getting really goofy and off-topic on this blog are going to be removed from it if you don't watch it.
This is forum for sharing ideas, not for being silly!
2. I haven't heard ANY meaningful discussion of the possible algebraic expression... you might want to think for yourselves instead of spending all your energy agreeing with Adam (even if you do!) So far, I don't see an algebraic expression that works for the terms you have listed already, much less for the future terms of this sequence.
that last comment was NOT from Rachel, it was from me!
yea, this is a blog, not a chat room
Jessie,
one way to think about making an algebraic expression is to make a chart with the information that you know.
So, in this case you could have a chart with the term # on one line and the actual term of the sequence below it on the next line.
Then look to see how to get from one to the other.
Example:
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 -
3 - 7 - 11- 13- 19-
What SAME set of mathematical operation(s) can you do to 1 to get 3 that you can do to 2 and get 7?
all you have to do is keep on adding four to each number and you'll get it sooner or later
