Chapter 2 Number and sequences

Getting started

Question 1: First ten square numbers

The square numbers are obtained by squaring each natural number:

 1² = 1
 2² = 4
 3² = 9
 4² = 16
 5² = 25
 6² = 36
 7² = 49
 8² = 64
 9² = 81
 10² = 100

Thus, the first ten square numbers are:


1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100

Question 2: First six terms of each sequence

(a) First term: 4, Term-to-term rule: Add 7

 4
 4 + 7 = 11
 11 + 7 = 18
 18 + 7 = 25
 25 + 7 = 32
 32 + 7 = 39

First six terms: 4, 11, 18, 25, 32, 39

(b) First term: 2, Term-to-term rule: Add 9

 2
 2 + 9 = 11
 11 + 9 = 20
 20 + 9 = 29
 29 + 9 = 38
 38 + 9 = 47
First six terms: 2, 11, 20, 29, 38, 47

Question 3: Missing numbers in the sequence 1, __ , __ , __ , 13

The sequence increases by equal amounts each time. To find the common difference:

The first and last given terms are 1 and 13, with three missing numbers in between.
Since it is an arithmetic sequence, we need a constant difference d such that:

1, x, y, z, 13

Using the formula for an arithmetic sequence:


d=(last term−first term)/number of gaps
d=(13−1)/4=12/4=3

Now, filling in the missing numbers:

 1+3=4
 4+3=7
 7 + 3 = 10
 10 + 3 = 13

Missing numbers: 4, 7, 10

Question 4: Multiples and Factors of 12

Given the set: 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48

(a) Choose three multiples of 12 from the set

Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36

(b) Choose three factors of 12 from the set

Factors of 12: 2, 4, 6
Ex-2.1

Question 1a: Find the position-to-term rule

Given the table:

Position Term
1 6
2 12
3 18
4 24

The pattern increases by 6 each time.


Thus, the position-to-term rule is:

T=6n

Question 1b: 10th term of sequence 6, 12, 18…

Using the sequence rule T = 6n:

T(10)=6(10)=60

10th term = 60

Question 2a: Write the three missing numbers

Given the sequence 3, __, __, __, 15, and knowing the numbers increase by equal amounts:

Let the common difference be d. Using the arithmetic sequence formula:

a+4d=15

Since a = 3, we get:

3+4d=15
4d=12⇒d=3

Now, fill in the missing numbers:

 3+3=6
 6+3=9
 9 + 3 = 12

Sequence: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15

Question 2b: Term-to-term and position-to-term rules

 Term-to-term rule: Add 3


 Position-to-term rule: Since the sequence follows T=3n, the formula is:

T=3n

Question 3a: Flowchart Sequence

Starting at 8, adding 8 repeatedly:

 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 (stop at 56, as it exceeds 50)

Question 3b: Position-to-term rule

Since the sequence follows:

T=8+(n−1)×8

This simplifies to:

T=8n

Question 3c: 50th term in the sequence

Using T=8n

T(50)=8×50=400

50th term = 400

Question 4a: Number of triangles in shape with 50 rectangles

Each shape follows the pattern:


 1 rectangle → 2 triangles
 2 rectangles → 4 triangles
 3 rectangles → 6 triangles
 n rectangles → 2n triangles

For 50 rectangles:

Triangles=2×50=100

Total shapes:

Rectangles + Triangles=50+100=150

4b)

Complete Jodi's table:

Notice:

 For position 1, term is 3.


 For position 2, term is 6 (increases by 3 each time).
 For position 3, term is 9.
 For position 4, term is 12.
 For position 5, term is 15.

So, the completed table:

Position Term
1 3
2 6
3 9
4 12
5 15

4c) Position-to-term rule

Since it increases by 3 each time:


The rule is:

T=3n

4d) What is the 50th term?


Using the rule T=3n

T(50)=3×50=150

So, the 50th term is 150.

Question 5: Missing numbers in sequence counting in quarters

Sequence: 1/4,2/4,3/4,1,__,__,2

Since the sequence increases by 1/4:

5/4,6/4,7/4,2

Missing numbers: 5/4,6/4 (or 1 1/4,1 1/2)

Question 6a: Sequence where first term is 1 and fifth term is 1.04

Given:

a=1,T5=1.04

Using the arithmetic sequence formula:

Tn=a+(n−1)d
1.04=1+4d
4d=0.04
d=0.01

Sequence:
1, 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, 1.04

Question 6b: 10th term

Using the formula:

T(10)=1+(10−1)×0.01
1.09=1+0.09=1.09
10th term = 1.09

Question 7: Counting back in steps of 0.4 from 15

Sequence:

15,14.6,14.2,13.8,…

Since 15 is not included in the sequence, the pattern follows:

Tn=15−(n×0.4)

Ollie is correct because subtracting multiples of 0.4 from 15 will never land exactly on 15.

Question 8: Hassan counts in steps of 2/5

Sequence:

0,−2/5,−4/5,−1,−6/5,−8/5,−2,…0,

Possible numbers Hassan could say:

−1,−4/5,−2,−6/5,−8/5,−4

Valid numbers from the options:


−4/5,−2,−4

Question 9: Samira counts from 20 in steps of 1.001

Sequence:

20,21.001,22.002,23.003,…

First number greater than 30:

Using:

Tn=20+(n−1)×1.001

Setting Tn>30:
20+(n−1)×1.001>30
(n−1)×1.001>10
n−1>9.99
n>10.99

Since n must be an integer, the smallest valid n is 11.

Thus, the 11th term is the first number greater than 30.
