1. Numeric Patterns
Example1.
The number sequence 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31 may just
seem a random collection of numbers until realizes that these are the numbers of
days that make uup each of the 12 months of the Gregorian Calendar.
Example 2.
There are more systematic numerical patterns like 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and so on, which
may be used to model the total savings a person makes when he starts saving 2
pesos on the first day and adding up 2 pesos more for each succeeding day.
Geometric Patterns
Example 1.
Formation of Clouds. Clouds and cloud formations are practically used to assess
the possible occurrence of an atmosphere phenomenom like rain or even a storm.
Example 2.
Some animals also have amazing patterns – such as coat patterns in different
species of snakes, insects (like butterfly wings), peacock feathers, leopard spots, zebra
or tiger stripes, and a lot more.
Example
n x Equals
n1 = 1 X1 = n1 = 1 X1 = 1
n2 = 2 X2 = n1 = 1 X2 = 1
n3 = 3 X3 = x1 + x2 = 1 + 1 X3 = 2
n4 = 4 X4 = x2 + x3 = 1 + 2 X4 = 3
n5 = 5 X5 = x3 + x4 = 2 + 3 X5 = 5
n6 = 6 X6 = x4 + x5 = 3 + 5 X6 = 8
n7 = 7 X7 = x5 + x6 = 5 + 8 X7 = 13
n8 = 8 X8 = X6 + X7 = 8 + 13 X8 = 21
n9 = 9 X9 = X7 + X8 = 13 + 21 X9 = 34
n10 = 10 X10 = x8 + x9 = 21 + 34 X10 = 55
Problem
Find the value of x11 when n11 = 11, x12 when n12 =12 and x13 when
n13 = 13.

2. The interior number is the sum of the two previous above numbers.
1 1 = 1 + 1 =2
1 2 1
1 2 1 = 1 + 2 = 3 & 2+ 1 =3
1 3 3 1
In the Pascal’s Triangle, find the 7th Row, 8th Row, 9th Row and 10th Row.
Note:
Example 1: 1
Answer = 1
Example 2:
1
(x + y)1 Second Row
1 1
Answer = 1x +1 y
Example 3:
Solution
1 1
Multiply (x + y) (x + y)
1 2 1
x2 + 1xy
1xy + y2
______________
1x2 + 2xy + 1y2
Since (x + y)2 the EXPONENT is 2, therefore, refer to THIRD ROW, in which the
NUMBERS ARE ( 1 2 1). Meaning the numerical coefficients of this answer
(color red). (1x + 2xy + 1y2 ).

Tips for ( x + y )2
1x2 y0 + 2 x1 y 1 + 1 x 0 y2
x2 + 2xy + y2
( x + y )5
Solution:
1 5 10 10 5 1
xy + xy + xy + xy + xy + xy
5. Fifth Step, write zero exponent of y and increases as goes to the right up
to exponent 5.
6. Final Answer
x5 + 5 x4 y + 10 x3 y2 + 10 x2 y3+ 5x y4 + y 5
Note: There is no need of writing 1 in 1x5 y0 and any number raised to zero
exponent is equal to 1 (y0 = 1 and x0 = 1 ).
(2x +3y )2
Solution:
First Method
Note:
1 Row 1 (Exponent 0)
1 1 Row 2 (Exponent 1)
1 2 1 Row 3 (Exponent 2)
Hence, Use
1 2 1
(2) (2) x 2
+ (2) (2) (3) x y + (3) (3) y2
4 x 2 + 12 x y + 9 y2
7. Final Answer
4 x 2 + 12 x y + 9 y2
Second Method
2x + 3y
2x + 3y
________
4x 2
+ 6 xy means (2x) (2x) and (2x) (3y)
+ 6 xy + 9 y 2 means ((3y) (2x) and (3y) (3y)
