Exercise 17 Page 214

Make a table by pairing each term with its position. Then, plot the obtained ordered pairs.

Practice makes perfect
Let's make a table to organize the terms of the given arithmetic sequence as ordered pairs.
Position (n) Term (a_n) Ordered pair
1 4 ( 1, 4)
2 12 ( 3, 12)
3 20 ( 3, 20)
4 28 ( 4, 28)

Now, let's plot the obtained ordered pairs using the horizontal axis for the position n and the vertical axis for the term a_n.
