PATTERN

Objective:
generates patterns.
M10AL-Ia-1
IS THIS A PATTERN?

2,4,6,8,10,12,…

a, b, c, d, e
Patterns and sequences
We often need to spot a pattern in order to
predict what will happen next.
In maths, the correct name for a pattern of
numbers is called a SEQUENCE.
The first number in a SEQUENCE is sometimes
called the FIRST TERM; the second is the
SECOND TERM and so on.
Patterns and sequences
For any pattern it is important to try to spot
what is happening before you can predict the
next number.
The first 2 or 3 numbers is rarely enough to
show the full pattern - 4 or 5 numbers are
best.
Patterns and sequences

For any pattern it is important to try to spot


what is happening before you can predict the
next number.

1, 2, …… What’s the next number?


Patterns and sequences
For any pattern it is important to try to spot
what is happening before you can predict the
next number.

1, 2, 4,… Who thought that the next


number was 3?

What comes next?

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, …
What comes next?
Patterns and sequences
Look at what is happening from 1 TERM to
the next. See if that is what is happening
for every TERM.

5, 8, 12, 17, 23, …, …

Now try these patterns:

3, 7, 11, 15, 19, …, …

128, 64, 32, 16, 8, …, …

1000, 100, 10, 1, …, …

So what is a finite
5, 15, 45, 135, …, … sequence?
IN GENERAL,
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE

• 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, …
• What is the value of a (T1 ) ?
• T5 ?
Tn is
• What is the pattern? called
• T1 = 1 = 12 the
general
• T2 = 4 = 22 term
• T3 = 9 = 32
• … T12 = ? Sequence is
• Tn = ?
EXAMPLES: WRITE A RULE FOR THE NTH
TERM.

5 5 5 5

Look for a pattern…


EXAMPLE: WRITE A RULE FOR THE NTH
TERM.

Think:
Describe the pattern, write the next term, and
write a rule for the nth term of the sequence
(a) – 1, – 8, – 27, – 64, . . .
SOLUTION
a. You can write the terms as (– 1)3, (– 2)3, (– 3)3,
(– 4)3, . . . . The next term is a5 = (– 5)3 = – 125.
A rule for the nth term is an = (– n)3.
Describe the pattern, write the next term, and
write a rule for the nth term of the sequence
(b) 0, 2, 6, 12, . . . .

SOLUTION
b. You can write the terms as 0(1), 1(2), 2(3),
3(4), . . . .
The next term is f (5) = 4(5) = 20. A rule for the
nth term is f (n) = (n – 1)n.
CONSIDER THIS:

…
• What is the pattern? How many dots for the next term?

• What about the 50th term?

• Need to find general term or the rule first.


Rearrange the dots:

Double the dots:


THUS;
WRITE IN GENERAL TERM

• 5,8,11,14, 17, …

• 25, 21, 17, 13, …

• 1, 3, 9, 27
SERIES
• A series is the sum of the terms in the
sequence and is represented by Sn.

• E.g.
• Sn = T1 + T2 + T3 +…+ Tn

• For finite series,


• 1 + 3 + 5 + 7.

• For infinite series,


• 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +…
THE SUMMATION SYMBOL
GENERALLY.

• For finite series

• For infinite series,


WRITE THE FOLLOWING SERIES USING THE
SUMMATION SYMBOL
FINDING THE VALUES OF THE SUMMATION

1 +2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 = 55

= 62

[2(-1) -3] + [2(0)-3]+[2(1)-3] +[2(2)-


3]

= -8
