NUMBERS PATTERNS AND


SEQUENCES
NUMBER PATTERNS AND SEQUENCES
A) Pattern of a Number Sequence
1. A sequence in a list numbers following a certain pattern.
2. Each number is called a term of the sequence.

For example:-
Worked Example

Describe the pattern of each of the following sequences


(a) 24, 20, 16, 12, 8,..
(b) 1, 3, 9, 27, 81,...
(c) 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,..

Solution
B) Completing a Sequence
To complete a sequence, first identify the number pattern.
Worked example

Solution
C) Constructing a Sequence
A sequence can be formed if the pattern is given.
Worked Example
Construct a five - number sequence for each of the following.
1.Starting with 7, add 6 to the number before it.
(b) Starting with 2, multiply the number before it by 4.
(c) Starting with 6 250, divide the number before it by 5.

Solution
ODD NUMBERS AND EVEN NUMBERS
A) Determining Odd Numbers and Even Numbers
1.Even numbers are numbers that can be divided by 2 exactly.
For example:- 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,....
2. Odd numbers are numbers that cannot be divided by 2 exactly.
For example:- 1, 3, 5, 7, 9,...
3. 0 is neither odd nor even.

Worked example
State whether each of the following numbers is an even number.
(a) 17 (c) 44

(b) 60 (d) 95
Solution

(a) Odd number (c) Even number

(c) Even number (d) Odd number


Worked example
List
(a) the first five even numbers.
(b) all the odd numbers between 50 and 65.
Solution
(a) 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 (b) 51, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 63
Worked example
Determine whether the answer for each of the following is an odd or even
number.
(a) 5 + 7 (b) 7 – 4 (c) 8 x 8
Solution
PRIME NUMBERS
A) Determining Prime
Numbers
1.A prime number is a whole number that can only be divided by itself and 1.
2. Thus, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17,... are prime numbers.
3. The first prime number is 2.
4. To determine whether a given number is a prime number, carry out the
following steps.
Steps 1: Divide the given number by prime numbers whose squares are less
than it.
Steps 2: If the given number cannot be divided exactly by all the prime
numbers, than
it is a prime number.

Worked example
Determine whether each of the following is a prime numbers or not.
(a) 45 (b) 73
Solutio
n Worked example

List all the prime numbers between 30


and 60.

Solution
Write down all the odd numbers between
30
and 60 and then cross out all the
numbers divisible by 3, 5, 7.

31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47, 49, 51, 53,
55,
57, 59

Therefore, the prime numbers between 30


and

60 are 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53 and 59.


Worked example

Find the sum of all the prime


numbers which are less than 10.

Solution

Prime numbers which are less than


10 are 2, 3, 5 and 7.

Therefore, its sum = 2+ 3 +5 +7 = 17
