The answer for the question above is the option D, which is: D y=2, 5, 8, 11,...
 The explanation for this answer is shown below:
 As you can see, the option D, y=2, 5, 8, 11,...increase with a constant factor of 3, and the other options do not increase with a constant factor, therefore, they are not linear functions.
 Finally, keeping the information above on mind, you have that the linear function is the following: f(x)=3x-1.

Part 1
1) The positive integers          ----------->  D.) The natural numbers
2.) An ordering of quantities  -----------> B.) A sequence
3.) 2, 4, 8, 16, . . ., 256            ----------->  A.) An example of a finite sequence
4.) 1, 3, 5, 7, . . .                        ----------->  E.) An example of an infinite sequence
5.) No first term is available   ----------->  C.) The reason the numbers . . . -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, . . . are not a sequence
Part 2
a_n=n^2+2\\ a_1=1+2=3\\ a_2=4+2=6\\ a_3=9+2=11\\ a_4=16+2=18\\ a_5=25+2=27
The answers is A.
Part 3
a_n=-1(\frac{1}{3})^{n-1} \\ a_1=-1(\frac{1}{3})^{1-1}=-1\\ a_2=-1(\frac{1}{3})^{2-1}=-\frac{1}{3}\\ a_3=-1(\frac{1}{3})^{3-1}=--\frac{1}{9}\\ a_4=-1(\frac{1}{3})^{4-1}=--\frac{1}{27}\\ a_5=-1(\frac{1}{3})^{5-1}=--\frac{1}{81}\\
The answers is B.
Part 4
The pattern in this sequence is:
a_n=2a^nb^{n-1}
Let's list first six terms:
a_n=2a^nb^{n-1}\\
a_1=2a^1b^0=2a\\
a_2=2a^2b^1=2a^2b\\
a_3=2a^3b^2\\
a_4=2a^4b^3\\
a_5=2a^5b^4\\
a_6=2a^6b^5\\
This is a infinite sequence. The patern is obvious and we could find any term within the sequence.

1/3, 2/6, 3/9, 4/You see the pattern? The denominator is by 3's. You can also see it as 1*3=3, 2*3=6, 3*3=6, then 4*3=12

So, the last fraction would be 4/12.

1/2, 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 5/ , 6/ The denominator is by 2's.
1*2=2, 2*2=4, 3*2=6, 4*2=8, 5*2=10,6*2=12

So, the last two fractions would be 5/10, and 6/12.

1. Let the n^{th} term of the sequence be u_{n}

2. The first term u_{1}=1/27, second term u_{2}=1/9 and so on

3. so 

u_{1}= \frac{1}{27}= \frac{1}{ 3^{3} }= 3^{-3}

u_{2}= \frac{1}{9}= \frac{1}{ 3^{2} }= 3^{-2}

u_{3}= \frac{1}{3}= \frac{1}{ 3^{1} }= 3^{-1}

u_{4}= 3^{0}

so by now it is clear that the general rule is u_{n}= 3^{n-4}

so the next term, u_{4} is u_{5}= 3^{5-4}=3^{1}=3

 a) add n+1 to the previous term

               b) add the previous two terms

               d) subtract n+1 from the previous term

               e) multiply the previous term by 3

               f) subtract 2 from previous term then add 5 to the next term

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 1, 3, 6, 10

    ∨  ∨  ∨

  +2 +3 +4           The next term is 10 +5 = 15

b) 1, 2, 3, 5

    ∨  ∨  ∨

  =3 =5 =8        The next term is 5 + 8 = 13

d)  8, 7, 5, 2

      ∨  ∨  ∨

     -1  -2  -3             zThe next term is 2 - 4 = -2

e) 1, 3, 9, 27

     ∨  ∨  ∨

    ×3 ×3 ×3         The next term is 27 × 3 = 81

f) 49, 47, 52, 50, 55

      ∨    ∨    ∨    ∨

     -2   +5   -2   +5      The next term is 55 - 2 = 53

                                    The following term is 53 + 5 = 58
