SEQUENCE
 set of numbers written in a special order
by the application of a definite rule.
function whose domain is the finite set
{1, 2, 3, …, n} or the infinite set {1, 2,
3,…}

Each number of the sequence is called a TERM

KINDS OF SEQUENCE
1. FINITE SEQUENCE {1, 2, 3, …, n}
 a sequence with definite number of
terms.
2. INFINITE SEQUENCE {1, 2, 3,…}
 a sequence having endless number
of terms.
KINDS OF SEQUENCE
 
1.
o
FINITE SEQUENCE
 a sequence with definite number of terms.

 has its first term and the last term.

Example:
a. 2, 4, 6 , 8
b. , , ,
FINITE SEQUENCE
Example:
n 1 2 3 4 5
     
a(n) 3 -1 1.5 10 

We may use the notation a1, a2, a3,…, an to

denote a(1), a(2), a(3),…,a(n), respectively.
KINDS OF SEQUENCE
2. INFINITE SEQUENCE {1, 2, 3,…}
 a sequence having endless number of
terms.
 Has its first term but no last term, hence, it
is endless.
Example:
a. 1, 2, 3, 4, …
b. 3, 7, 13, 21, …
INFINITE SEQUENCE
Example:
n 1 2 3 4 …
    
an 4 7 10 13 …

The above sequence is an infinite sequence

where an = 3n + 1
 I T Y!
A CTIV
Activity 1: Term after Term
Find the first terms of the sequence given the nth term.
1. an = n + 4
2. an = 2n  1
3. an = 12  3n
4. an = 3n
5. an = ( 2)n
Activity 2: Getting to know you
 
What is the nth term for each sequence below?
o

1. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,…
2. 3, 5,7, 9, 11,…
3. 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, …
  1, 1, 1, 1, 1,…
5. 1, , , , ,…
