    The document provides objectives and key terms for understanding linear and quadratic sequences. It then presents examples and exercises for identifying, writing expressions for, and finding subsequent terms in linear, quadratic, fractional, and Fibonacci sequences. Linear sequences have a common difference between terms while quadratic sequences have a changing difference that can be described by a quadratic expression. Other sequences like fractions and Fibonacci follow predictable patterns to generate new terms. Students are asked to apply their understanding of sequence types to analyze examples and solve multi-step problems finding missing terms.

    Starter

    Find the next 3 terms of the following


    sequences.
    1) 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, …, …, …,
    2) 4, 7, 10, 13, …, …, …,
    3) 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, …, …, …,
    4) 400, 200,100, …, …, …,
    5) 32, 28, 24, 20, …, …, …,
    LINEAR SEQUENCE
    • Use the following expression to write down the first 5 terms in the sequence

    1) 5n + 1
    2) 3n -1
    3) 6n + 4
    4) 4n – 3
    5) 7n + 2
    5, 9, 13, 17, 21

    The expression for this sequence is 4n+1

    Are the following numbers found in this sequence:

    a) 45

    b) 56

    c) 37

    d) 120

    e) 167
    Method
    1) Find the constant difference.
    Term 3 5 7 9 11
    Difference +2 +2 +2 +2
    The difference between the consecutive numbers is
    +2, so the nth term is the form of 2n+b

    2) Use the first term in the sequence to find the value


    of b. (2x1)+b=3
    2+b=3
    b=1
    3) Use other terms to check your answer.
    n=2 (2x2)+1= 5 n=3 (2x3)+1 = 7
    LINEAR SEQUENCE
    EXERCISES
    1. Find the nth term of these sequence:
    a) 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, …
    b) 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, …
    c) 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, …
    d) 9, 7, 5, 3, 1, -1, …

    2. a) Find the nth term of the sequence


    2, 9, 16, 23, 30, 37, …
    b) Is 261 a term in the sequence?
    QUADRATIC SEQUENCE
    Example 1
    Find the nth term of the sequence:
    2, find
    First, 5, 10,
    the17, 26, 37, …
    difference of the differences:
    2, 5, 10, 17, 26, 37, …
    +3 +5 +7 +9 +11

    +2 +2 +2 +2
    Halve the difference of the differences to get the number in front of n2.
    In this case 2/2 = 1 so the sequence starts n2.
    Subtract n2 from the sequence.
    2, 5, 10 17, 26, 37, …
    – 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, …
    1 1 1 1 1 1

    So the nth term is Un = n2 + 1


    Example 2
    Find the nth term of the sequence:
    5, 14, 27, 44, 65, 90, …
    First, find the difference of the differences:
    5, 14, 27, 44, 65, 90, …
    +9 +13 +17 +21 +25

    +4 +4 +4 +4
    So the sequence starts 2n2.

    Subtract 2n2 from the sequence.


    5, 14, 27, 44, 65, 90, …
    – 2, 8, 18, 32, 50, 72, …
    3 6 9 12 15 18

    So the nth term is Un = 2n2 + 3n


    Example 3
    Find the nth term of the sequence:
    6, 19, 38, 63, 94, 131, …
    First, find the difference of the differences:
    6, 19, 38, 63, 94, 131, …
    +13 +19 +25 +31 +37

    +6 +6 +6 +6
    So the sequence starts 3n2.

    Subtract 3n2 from the sequence.


    6, 19, 38, 63, 94, 131, …
    – 3, 12, 27, 48, 75, 108, …
    3 7 11 15 19 23

    So the nth term is Un = 3n2 + 4n – 1

    by the numerators is: by the denominators is:
    u1 = 2 u1 = 3

    EXAMPLE 2-Fibonacci Sequence

    Can you work out the next three terms in this sequence?

    1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, . . .

    1+1 2+3 5+8 13 + 21


    1+2 3+5 8 + 13 21 + 34
    How did you work these out?

    This sequence starts 1, 1 and each term is found by


    adding together the two previous terms.

    This sequence is called the Fibonacci Sequence after the


    Italian mathematician who first wrote about it.
