Answer<\/strong> the following in 175 to 260 words in your commentary:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How does the graph of a line compare to an arithmetic sequence? What does the slope represent? How would you find the first term?<\/li>\n
  2. Use your best fit equation to make a formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence. The year will represent the number of the term, and your data value will be the value at that term.<\/li>\n
  3. Use your arithmetic equation to predict what the 2,050th term will be. Do you think this is a good estimate of what the real value will be? Why or why not?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Answer<\/strong> the following by adding new commentary:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. How does the graph of an exponential equation compare to a geometric sequence? How would you find the common ratio? How would you find the first term (assuming the year is the number of the term)?<\/li>\n
    2. Use your best fit equation to make a formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence. The year will represent the number of the term, and your data value will be the value at that term.<\/li>\n
    3. Use your geometric equation to predict what the 2,050th term will be. Do you think this is a good estimate of what the real value will be? Why or why not?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
