One of the programs of Obando National High
School (ONHS) for Brigada Eskwela this school year is
Gulayan sa Tahanan. To make this pandemic fruitful
even if the students are at home, ONHS through the
YES-O Club creates a contest called “Gulayan sa
Tahanan”.

 What is It
A sequence is a list of items/objects which have been
arranged in a sequential way. It is a set of elements that
follows a pattern, where order is important. Each number
in a sequence is called a term.

Types of Sequence
1. Finite Sequence- a sequence that have a first term
and a last term. The number of terms can be
determine
2. Infinite Sequence- a sequence without ending. The
number of terms cannot be determine. It has an ellipsis
symbol (…) which means it is unending.
See page 6 on your module
 What is It
Examples of Finite Sequence
a. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 b. 1, 2, 4, 8 c. 85, 80, 75, 70, 65

 What is It
Finding the General Term or nth Term of a Sequence
The general term or the term of a sequence is a formula that will
generate a sequence, where n is a natural number (1, 2, 3,…)

Examples: Find the first 5 terms of a sequence given the nth term.

1. an = n + 3
Solution: Substitute numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to n
If n = 1, then a1 = 1 + 3 = 4
If n = 2, then a2 = 2 + 3 = 5
If n = 3, then a3 = 3 + 3 = 6
The sequence is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
See page 8-9 on your module
 What is It
Finding the General Term or nth Term of a Sequence
Examples: Find the first 5 terms of a sequence given the nth term.

2. an = 3n + 1
Solution: Substitute numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to n
If n = 1, then a1 = 3(1) + 1 = 4
If n = 2, then a2 = 3(2) + 1 = 7
If n = 3, then a3 = 3(3) + 1 = 10
The sequence is 4, 7, 10, 13, 16

See page 8-9 on your module

 What is It
Finding the General Term or nth Term of a Sequence
Examples: Find the first 5 terms of a sequence given the nth term.

3. a n = 3 + 4n
Solution: Substitute numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to n
If n = 1, then a 1 = 3 + 4(1) = 7
If n = 2, then a 2 = 3 + 4(2) = 11
If n = 3, then a 3 = 3 + 4(3) = 15
The sequence is 7, 11, 15, 19, 23.

See pages 8 -9 on your module

 What is It
Finding the General Term or nth Term of a Sequence
Examples: Find the first 5 terms of a sequence given the nth term.

3. a n = 3 + 4n
Solution: Substitute numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to n
If n = 1, then a 1 = 3 + 4(1) = 7
If n = 2, then a 2 = 3 + 4(2) = 11
If n = 3, then a 3 = 3 + 4(3) = 15
The sequence is 7, 11, 15, 19, 23.

 What is It
Finding the General Term or nth Term of a Sequence

Examples: Find the first 5 terms of a sequence given the nth term.

4. a n = n 2
Solution: Substitute numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to n
If n = 1, then a 1 = 12 = 1
If n = 2, then a 2 = 22 = 4
If n = 3, then a 3 = 3 2 = 9

The sequence is 1, 4, 9, 16, 25

See pages 8 -9 on your module

 What is It
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where
every term after the first is obtained by adding a
constant called the common difference.

In an arithmetic sequence the pattern is addition

or subtraction.
increasing -common difference is positive

decreasing -common difference is negative

See pages 9-10 on your module

 What is It
Examples: Determine whether the given sequence is
arithmetic or not. If it is arithmetic, then determine
the common difference.
1. 6, 11, 16, 21 Arithmetic Sequence d=5

2. 87, 98, 109, 120, 131 Arithmetic Sequence d=11

3. 4, 16, 64, 256, 1024 Not Arithmetic

4. 75, 69, 63, 57 Arithmetic Sequence d=-6

5. 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 Not Arithmetic
