For the following exercises, follow the steps to work with the arithmetic sequence a_n = 3n − 2 using a graphing calculator:

• Press [MODE]

› Select [SEQ] in the fourth line

› Select [DOT] in the fifth line

› Press [ENTER]

• Press [Y=]

› nMin is the first counting number for the sequence. Set nMin = 1

› u(n) is the pattern for the sequence. Set u(n) = 3n − 2

› u(nMin) is the first number in the sequence. Set u(nMin) = 1

• Press [2ND] then [WINDOW] to go to TBLSET

› Set TblStart = 1

› Set ΔTbl = 1

› Set Indpnt: Auto and Depend: Auto

• Press [2ND] then [GRAPH] to go to the [TABLE]

Press [WINDOW]. Set nMin = 1, nMax = 5, xMin = 0, xMax = 6, yMin = −1, and yMax = 14. Then press [GRAPH]. Graph the sequence as it appears on the graphing calculator.
