3 PATTERNS AND SEQUENCES

1. Match the number sequences with the correct pattern.

Answer:

Number sequence Pattern

1 + 3n, n = 1, 2, 3,
4, 16, 36, 64, ....
...

4n , n = 1, 2, 3, ...
2

4, 7, 10, 13, ... 5n − 1, n = 1, 2, 3, ...

2. Given the number sequence is 2, 10, 18, 26, …. What is the pattern of the number

sequence in algebraic expression?

A Tn = 2 + 4n, such that n = 0, 1, 2, …

B Tn = 2 + 5n, such that n = 0, 1, 2, …

C Tn = 2 + 8n, such that n = 0, 1, 2, …

D Tn = 5n – 2, such that n = 0, 1, 2, …

3. State the pattern for each of the following sequences using

(i) numbers,

(ii) words

(iii) an algebraic expression.

(a) 4,8,12,16,20, …….

(b) 2,5,8,11,14,……

4.Given the number sequence 72, 58, 44, 30, …. At which term is−26 located in the
sequence?

A.6th terms B. 7th terms C. 8th terms D. 9th terms
