Exercise 6 Page 201

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

Graph:

What Can Be Noticed? The points lie on the same line.

Practice makes perfect

Let's make a table to organize the terms of the given sequence as ordered pairs.

Position (n)	Term (a_n)	Ordered Pair
1	1	( 1, 1)
2	0.8	( 2, 0.8)
3	0.6	( 3, 0.6)
4	0.4	( 4, 0.4)

Now, let's plot these points. In the graph, the horizontal axis will represent the position n and the vertical axis the term a_n.

We can see that the points are collinear. This means that they lie on the same line.
