Part II. Draw the next
object in each picture
pattern.
What is sequence?
A sequence e is a set of objects which is listed in a
specific order, one after another. Each member or element
in the sequence is called term. The terms in a sequence
can be written as which means is the first term, is the
second term, is the third term, …, is the nth term, and
soon.
A sequence is classified as finite and
infinite.
Finite Sequence contains a limited
number of terms. This means it has an end
or last term.
Examples:
a) Days of the week: {𝑆𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑦, 𝑀𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑦,
𝑇𝑢𝑒𝑠𝑑𝑎𝑦, . . . , 𝑆𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑑𝑎𝑦}
b) First 10 positive perfect squares: {1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36,
Infinite Sequence contains a countless
number of terms. The number of terms of the
sequence continues without stopping or it has
no end term. The ellipsis (…) at the end of the
following examples shows that the sequences
are infinite.
Examples:
a) Counting numbers: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, . . .}
b) Multiples of 5: {5, 10, 15, 20, 15, . . .}
Finding several terms of a sequence, given the
general term:
Example 1:
Find the first four terms of the sequence 𝑎𝑛=2𝑛−1.
Solution: To find the first term, let 𝑛 = 1
𝑎𝑛 = 2𝑛 − 1
Repeat
use the the
given same process
general term
𝑎 = 2(𝟏)−1
𝟏
for the 𝑛second
substitute togeneral
in the given the fourth
term by 1
𝑎1=2−1
terms.
perform the operations
𝑎1 = 1
simplify
Example 1:
Find the first four terms of the sequence 𝑎𝑛=2𝑛−1.
Solution:
Find the second term, 𝑛=2 = 2(2) − 1 = 4 − 1 = 3
Find the third term, 𝑛=3 = 2(3) − 1 = 6 − 1 = 5
Find the fourth term, 𝑛=4 = 2(4) − 1= 8 − 1 = 7
Therefore, the first four terms of the sequence are
𝟏,𝟑,𝟓,𝟕.
Example 2.
Find the 5th to the 8th terms of the
sequence .
