What I Know
Encircle the letters which give the best answers for the following
statements/questions.
For item numbers 7 – 10, read the text below and answer the following
questions.
Since there is no face to face classes, your parent/guardian decided to
give you Ᵽ20 pesos a day as your daily allowance at home. You decided to
save Ᵽ15 pesos daily.
8. If you will create a pattern for your daily savings, the first three terms are:
A. 20, 40, 60 C. 5,10, 15
B. 10, 20, 30 D. 15, 30, 45
9. Write the rule or the general term for the given sequence.
A. ���� = 15�� C. ���� = 15�� + 5
B. ���� = 20�� D. ���� = 20�� + 5
10. How much money will you have on the 30th day?
A. Ᵽ605 B. Ᵽ455 C. Ᵽ300 D. Ᵽ450

3. Study the number pattern 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 . . . What is the 10th term
in the pattern? _____________

What’s New
Look carefully at each set of figures. Then, fill in the table and answer the
questions that follow. (Note: Black squares are top tiles.)
a. Do you see any relation from the number of top tiles to the number of bottom
tiles? Is the relation a function? Explain your answer.
b. What is the domain in the table of values? How about the range? c. What
method did you use in completing the table of values in the second row?
What is the pattern described by the entries in the second row?
What is it
The above activity shows pattern and we can identify the relationship
from the given figure to the resulting number. As you can see there is a
sequence involved in the pattern. The relation is a function since there is no
similar values in the domain.
No. of bottom
tiles
f(x) to
����
Note that 3 is multiplied to the preceding term to get the next term.
Thus, if you want two more terms, we have:
1 x 3 = 3 9 x 3 = 27 81 x 3 = 243
3 x 3 = 9 27 x 3 = 81
Therefore, the terms of the sequence are 42, 40, 37, 33, 28, 22,

What’s New
In your place, get anything that is circular in shape like coins, bottle
caps and the like. Using these objects, try to form a triangle. See sample on the
right: three five-peso coins are formed like a triangular number. Can you form a
triangular number using two coins only?
3. Can you use the same object to generate square numbers? If so, write
the first 4 terms of the sequence?
What is It
In the activity above, can you imagine forming triangular numbers using
only two coins? What about three coins? six coins? In this lesson, you can
answer these questions. You can generate patterns using many objects or things
around you. You can also generate patterns using the rule or the nth term of the
sequence commonly known as the general term of the sequence.
If n = 1 ��1 = 5(1) − 2
=3
If n =2 ��2 = 5(2) − 2
=8
If n =3 ��3 = 5(3) − 2
= 13
Example 2: Compute the first three terms of the general term, ���� = 3��2 + 1 .
Therefore, the first three terms of the sequence are 4, 13, 28.
��� 5 8 11 14
�
The number 3 is constant so, the initial nth term is ���� = 3��. You
can get the general term by inspection:
3�� + 2 Example 2: Find the general term for the sequence 2, 11, 26,
47, …
N 1 2 3 66

What is In
In solving a sequence, you need to analyze the given problem by identifying the
given, the unknown (what is asked), and the solution to the problem to be
solved.
��2 = 115(2) + ��
365 = 115(2) + ��
365 = 230 + ��
�� = 365 − 230
�� = 135
