    The document provides information about generating patterns from sequences. It defines what a sequence is and discusses finite and infinite sequences. Examples of each are given. The document also shows how to find specific terms of a sequence given its general term, and examples are worked out. Students are asked to find the first 5 terms for sequences given their general terms. The document ends with a reflection question about why learning to generate patterns is useful and where students encounter patterns in daily life.

    Good day Grade 10! How are you doing today? Let’s continue to explore new
    things in our Math class. In this week’s lesson, you’ll learn about the

    _____________

    Sequence is a list of numbers which is listed in a specific order, one after another or
    called as pattern. Each member or element in the sequence is called term. The terms in a
    sequence can be written as a1, a2, a3, a4,…,an,… which means a1 is the first term, a2 is the
    second term, a3 is the third term, … an is the nth term, and so on.

    Sequences are classified into two:

    A finite sequence contains a An infinite sequence contains a


    limited number of terms. This countless number of terms. The number
    means it has an end or last term. of terms of the sequence continues
    without stopping or it has no end term.
    Examples: The ellipsis (…) is used to indicate that a
    a.) Days of the week: (Monday, sequence contains countless element.
    Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
    Friday,Saturday,Sunday) Examples:
    a) Counting numbers: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5,...)
    b.) First 10 positive square
    numbers: (1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, b) Multiples of 5: (5, 10, 15, 20,…)
    49, 64, 81, 100)
    an is called the general term or nth term.

    Finding several terms of a sequence, given the general term:

    Example 1. Find the first four terms of the sequence, given the general term: an=2n-1

    Find the first four terms of the sequence an=2n-1

    Solution: to find the first term, let n=1 Repeat the same process for the second term to
    the fourth terms.
    an=2n-1 Use the given general term a2=2(2)-1 a3=2(3)-1 a4=2(4)-1
    a1=2(1)-1 substitute n by 1 a2=4-1 a3=6-1 a4=8-1
    a1=2-1 perform the operations a2=3 a3= 5 a4= 7
    a1=1 simplify
    Therefore, the first four terms of the sequence
    are 1,3,5,7.

    Example 2. Find the first five terms and the 11th term of the sequence defined by an = 3n2+1.

    Solution:
    an = 3n2+1
    a1 = 3(12) +1 = 4
    a2 = 3(22) +1 = 13
    a3 = 3(32) +1 = 28
    a4 = 3(42) +1 = 49
    a5 = 3(52) +1 = 76
    a11 = 3(112) +1 = 364
    Thus, the first five terms are 4, 13, 28, 49, and 76.
    And the 11th is 364.

    Find the first 5 terms for each of the following general


    term of the sequence.

    General Term First 5 terms of the sequence

    1. an = 7n
    2. an = 4n-1
    3. an = 4n2+1

    4. an = 2n (-1)n
    5. an = 2(n2-3)

    Reflection
    Why do we need to learn generating patterns? Can you give instances where you use
    patterns or sequences in your daily life?
