GEMDAS
In your class, you are asked to observe how the
plants grow from the first day to the 11th day.

Two Types of Sequence

Finite Sequence
Infinite Sequence
Finite Sequence
A finite sequence is an order of numbers
that has a beginning and end.
Examples:
1, 3, 2, 5, 0
red, orange, yellow, green, blue,
indigo, violet
Infinite Sequence
An infinite sequence does have a beginning but
it has no end.
Examples:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …
1,10,100,1000,10000, …
Discovering Patterns
Domain - “n” - Number of term.

Range " an " - nth term of the sequence.

Rule:

an  3n  1
Example 1

The terms of the sequence from 1st to 5th term are 2,


5,8,11,14. what is the pattern or general rule for the
sequence? Determine the 9th term of the sequence.
Given: To find the 9th term:
n= 9 an  3n  1
an  a9
a9  3(9)  1
a9  27  1
a9  26
Example 2

For each sequence, describe the pattern, write the


next three terms, and write the rule.

3,8,15,24

a n
: 3, 8, 15, 24

n: 1 2 3 4 … n

Pattern: 1(3) 2(4) 3(5) 4(6) n (n + 2)


a n
: 3, 8, 15, 24

n: 1 2 3 4 … n

Pattern: 1(3) 2(4) 3(5) 4(6) n (n + 2)

a n  n (n  2)

a5  5(5  2) a6  6(6  2) a7  7(7  2)

a5  35 a6  48 a7  63
Example 3:

Write the first 6 terms of the sequence.


an  2n  5

a1  2(1)  5  7 a4  2(4)  5  13

a2  2(2)  5  9 a5  2(5)  5  15

a3  2(3)  5  11 a6  2(6)  5  17
Graphing Sequence

Sequence is defined only for


integer values of n, therefore
when you graph sequence, do not
connect the points.
Example 4
You own a fruit stand. To make your display
more attractive, you stack the apples in
the shape of a square pyramid with 10
layers. Starting the top layer, there is only
one apple, the second layer has 4 apples,
and so on.
a) Write a rule for the number of apples in each layer.

b) Graph the sequence.

Series

If you add the terms in a sequence,


the result in expression is a series.

It can be finite and infinite.
