This math topic focuses on identifying arithmetic sequences by determining the algebraic expression that matches the first three terms given a starting index. The problems present sequences initiated from different starting points (like x = 1, c = 1, etc.) and require finding the correct linear equation (in the form of m * index + c) that generates that sequence. Each question provides multiple choice answers represented by algebraic expressions, from which the correct formula must be chosen based on the sequence provided. This activity reinforces understanding of arithmetic progressions, patterning, and basic algebraic manipulation.
