Sequences, functions and graphs

13 The 1st term in a sequence is 50. The term-to-term rule is subtract 10. What is the 4th term?
a 30 b 0 c 20 d 10
14 The position-to-term rule in a sequence is multiply by 4 then add 3. What is the 5th term?
a 23 b 32 c 4.25 d 511
15 If the nth term is 50 − 4n, what is the 6th term?
a 4 b 26 c 276 d 74
16

The graph is described by the equation

a y=x+1 b y = −x + 1
c y=x−1 d y = −x − 1
17 Here are the first three diagrams in a pattern:

The total number of squares in the nth diagram is

a 5n b 5n + 2
c n+2 d 2n + 3
18

The mapping shown in the diagram represents

a 3n + 9 b n + 10
c 4n + 1 d 3n + 4
19 Which of these points does not lie on the line
y = 3x + 5?
a (1, 8) b (4, 17)
c (−2, 11) d (0, 5)
20 For the equation y = 7 − 2x, the missing number in the coordinate pair (−1, ) is
a 9 b 5 c −9 d −14
21 For the equation y = 2x + 4, the missing number in the coordinate pair (, 16) is
a 36 b 2 c 40 d 6
22 The line y = 3 is
a vertical
b horizontal
c diagonal sloping up
d diagonal sloping down
23 A mapping multiplies the input by 3 and then adds 5.

When the input is x the output is y.

(a) Write an expression for y using x.

y= ]

(b) Work out the value for x when y = 44.

x=
24 Look at the sequence of numbers on your answer sheet. What is the nth term for this
sequence?

7, 11, 15, 19, 23,…

25 The points A, B, C and D are vertices of a square.

Letters can be used more than once. The first is done for you.

y = x − 3 is a line through A and B

y = 0 is a line through and

x = 0 is a line through and

y = –x−3 is a line through and

25(a) Complete the table of values for y = 2x − 1.

 (b)Plot the points on the axes on the right and draw the line y = 2x – 1.

(c) Hamish says that the point with coordinates (20, 41) is on the
line y = 2x − 1. Is Hamish right? Explain your answer.

Hamish is because

26 Write down the first five terms of these sequences.

(a) The first term is 2. The term-to-term rule is multiply by 2.

(b) The position-to-term rule is multiply by 3 then subtract 2.
