Once you know your basic operations addition<span>, </span>subtraction,multiplication<span>, </span>division <span>you will encounter story problems also known as word problems that require you to read a problem and decide which operation to perform in order to get the answer. There are key words here that often indicate which operation you will use. We will give you a list of them, but remember that for many problem</span><span>s </span><span>there may not be a key word and you’ll have to use your best judgment in order to figure out what to do. </span>
This is an arithmetic sequence, since it's pattern is +4.
n1 = 1
d = 4
n = 1 + (n-1)(4) <-------------- This is the formula for the nth term of the sequence.
It is negative six because down three is -3 so 3+3 =6 but the numbers are negative so the answer is -6
has gradient
which at the point (-1, 4, 3) has a value of
I'm not sure what the given direction vector is supposed to be, but my best guess is that it's intended to say 
, in which case we have
Then the derivative of at (-1, 4, 3) in the direction of 
is
