i. 41, 43, 47
ii. 41, 42, 43, 47, 48
c) 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50
Ques on 2:
Had no me
Ques on 3:
Let x = 0.23 (the 2 and 3 are recurring)
100x = 23.232323232323
99x = 23
𝟐𝟑
x=
𝟗𝟗
Ques on 4:
Let x = 0.18 (the 8 is recurring)
100x = 18.8888888888
90x = 17
𝟏𝟕
x=
𝟗𝟎
Ques on 5: (The sequence is linear so I will use the steps for linear sequnces.)
a = common difference
a = (33 – 27 = 6) (39 – 33 = 6)
a=6
b = (a + b = 1st term)
b = (6 + b = 27) (b = 27 – 6)

b = 21
nth term is: 6n + 21
Ques on 6:
a) The term-to-term rule is -4
7–4=3
3 – 4 = -1
The next 2 terms are (3 and -1)
b) (The sequence is linear so I will use the steps for linear sequnces.)
a = common difference
a = (15 - 19 = -4) (11 – 15 = -4)
a = -4
b = (a + b = 1st term)
b = (-4 + b = 19) (b = 4 + 19)
b = 23
nth term is: -4n + 23
c) -4n + 23 = -65
-4n = -65 – 23
-4n = -88

n = 22
Ques on 7:
a)
Sequence 1st term 2nd term 3rd term 4th term 5th term 6th term
A 0 1 4 9 16 25
B 4 5 6 7 8 9
C -4 -4 -2 2 8 16
b) .
i. (The sequence is quadra c so I will use the steps for quadra c equa ons)
a = (2a = 2nd difference)
Yasin Omer Grade 11 Mathema cs Test
a = (2a = 2)
a=1
b = (3a + b = 1st difference)
b = (3 + b = 1)
b = -2
c = (a + b + c = 1st term)
c = (1 -2 + c = 0)
c=1
nth term is: n2 -2n + 1
ii. (The sequence is linear so I will use the steps for linear sequnces)
a = common difference
a = (5 - 4 = 1) (6 – 5 = 1)
a=1
b = (a + b = 1st term)
b = (1 + b = 4) (b = 4 - 1)
b=3
nth term is: 3 + n
iii. n2 -2n + 1 = 576
n2 – 2n – 575
I input the values into the quadra c formula, and got x = 25, or x = -23.
By subs tu on I found n = 25
n = 25
d)
a) I found that the pa ern of sequence c, is that we subtract sequence b with
sequence a.
nth term is: n2 – 2n + 1 – 3 + n
n2 -n - 2
b) We subs tute the values of n with 30
900 – 60 + 1 – 3 + 30 = 868
Ques on 8:
a) (The sequence is linear so I will use the steps for linear sequnces)
a = common difference
a = (19 - 16 = 3) (22 – 19 = 3)
a=3
b = (a + b = 1st term)
b = (3 + b = 16) (b = 16 - 3)
b = 13
nth term is: 3n + 13
b) (The sequence is exponen al so I will use the steps for exponen al sequnces)
