TMK Mathematics Course Form 6 Chapter 2: Sequences and Rules 1. Form out the sequence which starts from the given value and has a rule defined as follows. a) Start from -2 and has a rule “add 2” b) Start from 1 and has a rule “multiply by -3” ¢) Start from 4 and has a rule “divide by -2” 2. Work out the next 2 terms in each sequence. Describe the term-to-term rule you've used. a) 25, 19, 13, 7,1, ) 1,7, 13,19, 25, c) 5,11, 17, 23, 29, 3.
