    1) Sequences are lists of numbers or terms that follow a pattern. They can be finite, with a set number of terms, or infinite, continuing indefinitely. 2) Common types of sequences include arithmetic sequences, where each term differs by a constant amount, and Fibonacci sequences, where each term is the sum of the previous two. 3) General sequences are represented by a formula for the nth term involving integers and operations. Difference tables systematically show the differences between successive terms to identify patterns.

    MATHEMATICAL PATTERNS, SEQUENCE, GENERAL SEQUENCE

    Subject: GE6 – Mathematics in Modern World


    MATHEMATICAL PATTERNS SEQUENCE
    PATTERN SEQUENCE
    – mathematics is useful to predict – a list of things or numbers that are in order
    – can be in the from form counting and down TERMS
    – missing numbers can be the form of completing – each number in a sequence
    count or down eg: 𝑎1, 𝑎2 , 𝑎3 𝑎4 … , 𝑎𝑛−1 , 𝑎𝑛, …
    NUMBER PATTERN INFINITE SEQUENCE
    – leads directly to the concept of functions – a function whose domain is a set of positive
    – applied to problem solving whether a pattern is integers
    present – has a starting number, a difference or factor, and
    – used to generalize a solution to a problem a fixed total number of terms
    eg: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, … ; 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, … ; 1, 4, 9,
    A. MATHEMATICAL PICTURE EQUATION PUZZLE 16, 25, 36, …
    – uses pictures to illustrate an equation FINITE SEQUENCE
    eg: – if the domain consists of 𝑛 positive integers only
    – don't have a fixed number of terms, and their
    terms can grow to infinity, decrease to zero or
    approach a fixed value
    eg: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ; 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 ;
    1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15
    GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE
    – each term is found by multiplying the previous
    term by constant
    eg: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48…

    A. FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
    – wherein the next number is found by adding up
    the two numbers before it
    – used to create technical indicators using
    B. NUMBER PATTERN PUZZLE mathematical sequence
    – uses numbers to illustrate the problem eg: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, …
    eg: formula:
    𝒏 𝒏
    𝟏
    𝟏 + √𝟓 𝟏 − √𝟓
    𝑭𝒏 = [( ) −( ) ]
    √𝟓 𝟐 𝟐
    ex:
    𝐹15 = 610 𝐹20 = 6,765
    𝟏𝟓 𝟏𝟓 𝟐𝟎 𝟐𝟎
    𝟏 𝟏 + √𝟓 𝟏 − √𝟓 𝟏 𝟏 + √𝟓 𝟏 − √𝟓
    [( ) −( ) ] [( ) −( ) ]
    √𝟓 𝟐 𝟐 √𝟓 𝟐 𝟐

    B. ARTHEMETIC SEQUENCE
    g – any sequence with a constant difference
    between the terms
    eg: 9, 13, 17, 21, 25 …
    formula:
    nth term
    𝒍 = 𝒂 + (𝒏 − 𝟏)𝒅
    𝒍 = 𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒎; 𝒏 = 𝒏𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒎;
    𝒂 = 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒎; 𝒅 = 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒏 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆
    Summation
    𝒏
    𝑺= (𝒂 + 𝒍)
    𝟐
    𝒍 = 𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒎 𝒏 = 𝒏𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒎;
    ex:
    1, 3, 5, 7,…
    𝑙 = 1 + (20 − 1)2 20
    𝑆= (1 + 39)
    𝑙 = 39 2
    𝑆 = 400

    GENERAL SEQUENCE
    GENERAL SEQUENCE
    – 𝑎1, 𝑎2 , 𝑎3 𝑎4 … , 𝑎𝑛−1 , 𝑎𝑛, … where 𝑛 is an
    integer, and 𝑎𝑛 is the nth term of the
    sequence
    eg: 2, 4, 7, 11, 16,…
    MATHEMATICAL PATTERNS, SEQUENCE, GENERAL SEQUENCE
    Subject: GE6 – Mathematics in Modern World
    ex:
    Give the first 3 terms of a sequence whose 𝑛𝑡ℎ
    is given by the formula 𝑎𝑛 = 3𝑛 + 1
    𝑎1 = 3(1) + 1 =4
    𝑎2 = 3(2) + 1 =7
    𝑎3 = 3(3) + 1 =10
    ∴ first three terms of the sequence are 4,7,10
    DIFFERENCE TABLE
    – shows the difference between successive terms
    of the sequence
    formula:
    1st
    difference
    𝒂𝒏 = 𝒑 + 𝒒(𝒏 − 𝟏)
    2nd 𝒓
    difference
    𝒂𝒏 = 𝒑 + 𝒒(𝒏 − 𝟏) + (𝒏𝟐 − 𝟑𝒏 + 𝟐)
    𝟐
    𝒓
    3rd 𝒂𝒏 = 𝒑 + 𝒒(𝒏 − 𝟏) + 𝟐 (𝒏𝟐 − 𝟑𝒏 +
    difference 𝑺
    𝟐) + 𝟔 (𝒏𝟑 − 𝟔𝒏𝟐 + 𝟏𝟏𝒏 − 𝟔)
    p = first term in the sequence
    q = first term in the first difference
    r = first term in the second difference
    s = first term in the third difference
    eg:

    p= 5; q= 3; r=4; s= 6
