    Problems
    involving Patterns
    Unit 3.5
    Number Pattern
    defined as a list of the
    same numbers following a
    particular sequence
    Infinite Sequence
    Is a function whose domain is the set of positive
    integers.

    The function values a1, a2, a3, a4,...,an-1, an, ... are
    TERMS of the sequence.

    If the domain of the function consists of the first n


    positive integers only, the sequence is a FINITE
    SEQUENCE.
    a. 1,2,3,4,5,6,...
    b. 2,4,6,8,10,12,14
    Example 1:
    c. 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15
    Identify whether
    d. 3,6,9,12,15,...
    the ff. are finite e. 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,...
    or infinite f. 1,4,9,16,25,36

    a1, a2, a3, a4, ..., an-1, an
    Nth term, also
    called the
    First term Second term
    GENERAL TERM

    EXAMPLE 2
    Write the first three terms of the sequence whose
    nth term is given by the formula
    an= 3n + 1 an= n² - 3
    Difference Table
    It shows the difference between
    successive terms of the sequence.

    EXAMPLE 2
    Contruct the difference a. 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, ...
    table to predict the next
    b. 1, 4, 9, 17, 28, ...
    term of each sequence.
    c. 6, 9, 14, 26, 50, 91, ...
    Polygonal number
    is a type of figurative number represented as dots or oebbles
    arranged in the shape of a regular polygon.

    Triangular Number Square Number Pentagonal Number Hexagonal Number

    Tn= 1/2 (n² + n) Sn= n² Pn= 1/2 (3n² - n) Hn= 2n²- n


    a. Triangular number
    Example 4:
    b. Square number
    Determine the
    c. Pentagonal number
    nth term formula
    for the ff. d. Hexagonal number
    polygon numbers
    in the nth figure;
    Diagonal of a polygon
    is a line segment that connects vertices (corners) of the polygon.

    Example 5: Below are the following polygons: triangle,


    quadrilateral, pentagon, and hexagon. Determine the number of
    diagonals in a heptagon and an octagon.
    Example 6: Given a circle with n points on its perimeter
    what is the maximum number of the regions determined by
    the chords and the circle rim.
