Additional Activities This is an activity that will
strengthen your knowledge about the
lesson
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to indulge
you in discovering and generating patterns. The scope of this module permits it to
be used in many different learning situations. Recognizing and extending patterns
are important skills needed to the learning of concepts related to sequence. The
arrangement of the lessons follows the standard sequence of the course. But the
pacing in which you read and answer this module is dependent on your ability.
This module is all about generating patterns, but the lesson is sub-tasked
into:
1) Patterns and Sequence
2) The term of a sequence
3) Finding the nth term of a sequence

What is It
Were you able to find the pattern and supply the succeeding
numbers in each sequence in Activity 1A under “Complete Me?”
From the song “Twelve Days of Christmas” the “True Love” gave the
following:
Examples:
Examples:
a. 1, 3, 5, …
b. 2, 4, 8, …
11
c. 1, 2, 3, …
Definition:
Sequence is a set of numbers written in specific order as a1, a2, a3,…, an.
The number a1 is called the first term, a2 is the second term, a3 is the
third term, and, in general, an is the nth term.
Examples:
From the given sequence, notice that 5 is added to get the next
terms or numbers in the sequence. The constant 5, which is added to the
preceding term to get the next term, is called common difference.
First term: a1 = 17
Second term: a2 = 17 + 5 = 22
Third term: a3 = 22 + 5 = 27
Fourth term: a4 = 27 + 5 = 32
1 1 1 1
2.) , , , ,...
2 5 8 11
B. Write the first four terms of the sequence using the given rule
1) an = 2n + 1
12
Solution:
a1 = 2(1) + 1 = 3
a2 = 2(2) + 1 = 5
a3 = 2(3) + 1 = 7
a4 = 2(4) + 1 = 9
Example: Find the nth term of the sequence: 5, 12, 19, 26, . . .
Solution:
1. Prepare a table for n and a n, where n represents the position (order) of
a term and an represents the term that corresponds to the n position
(order).
n 1 2 3 4
an 5 12 19 26
2. Get the difference of the 2nd term and the 1st term, 3rd term and the
2nd term and so on.
a2 – a1 = 12 – 5 = 7
a3 – a2 = 19 – 12 = 7
a4 – a3 = 26 – 19 = 7
Solution:
If n = 1 and a1 = 5, then: 5 = a(1) + b
5=a+b Eq. 1
13
Solve for b by substituting a = 7 in either Eq. 1 or Eq. 2
Using Eq. 1: 5=7+b
b = -2
Thus, the nth term of the sequence is an = 7n – 2.
Solution:
1. Prepare a table for n and a n, where n represents the position (order) of
a term and an represents the term that corresponds to the n position
(order).
n 1 2 3 4 5
an 1 4 9 16 25
2. Get the difference of the 2nd term and the 1st term, 3rd term and the
2nd term and so on.
a2 – a1 = 4 – 1 = 3 d1 = 3
a3 – a2 = 9 – 4 = 5 d2 = 5
a4 – a3 = 16 – 9 = 7 d3 = 7
a5 – a4 = 25 – 16 = 9 d4 = 9
The first differences (dn) are not common. So, get the second
differences and find out if they are the same.
d2 – d1 = 5 – 3 = 2
d3 – d2 = 7 – 7 = 2
d4 – d3 = 9 – 7 = 2
Since the second differences are the same, then an = an2 + bn + c can
be used to describe the relationship of n and an, where a, b, and c are
constants, can be used to describe the relationship of n and a n.
Solution:
If n = 1 and a1 = 1, then 1 = a(1)2 + b (1) + c
1=a+b+c Eq. 1
14
By subtracting Eq. 2 by Eq. 1: 4 = 4a + 2b + c
– (1 = a + b + c)
3 = 3a +b Eq. 4
