Sequence –Generating patterns

MIM’s #13 and 14

Sequence
It is a succession of numbers in specific order. Each
number in the sequence is called a term that is a1,
the first term, the second term and so on until an,
the nth term .

Sequence can be finite or infinite, infinite sequence

represented by 3 dots that are called ellipsis.
Determine the next 3terms of the sequence

4, 9, 14, 19, ___, ____, ____, ...

Determine the next 3terms of the sequence

0.5, 1.5, 4.5 ___, ____, ____, ...

Determine the next 3terms of the sequence

5 , 8, 12, 17 ___, ____, ____, ...

Determine the next 3terms of the sequence

, ____, ____, ____, ...

Sequence are usually given by stating their general
rule or nth term.
an = 3n + 1, lets try to give the first 5 terms of the
sequence
_____, _____, _____, _____, _____
Give the first 5 terms of the sequence
_____, _____, _____, _____, _____
an = 2 + 2n
Find the 5th term and the 10th term of the sequence

5th _____
10th _____
