As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners’ progress while allowing them to manage their own
learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners as they do the
tasks included in the module.

Notes to the Teacher
The activities in this module are arranged from simple to complex to help the
learner gradually master the desired learning competency. Give them the needed
support and guidance so that they will be able to perform the tasks to prepare them
later on in solving sequence.

What is It
Definition of Sequence
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.
1. In the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
The pattern is by adding 2
There are 5 terms. The first term is 2, the second term is 4, the third term is
6, the fourth term is 8, and the last term is 10.
The next term is 12 by simply adding 2 to the last term 10.
6
2. In the sequence 1, 2, 4, 8
The pattern is by multiplying 2
There are 4 terms. The first term is 1, the second term is 2, the third term is
4, and the last term is 8.
The next term is 16 by simply multiplying 2 to the last term 8.
To find the next terms of a sequence simply look for the pattern and apply it to
the last term.
7
4. -34, -64, -94 ____, ____, ____
The pattern is minus 30. The last term is -94, -94 - 30 = -124, -124 - 30 = -154,
-154 - 30 = -184
The next three terms are -124, -154, -184
The new sequence is -34, -64, -94, -124, -154, -184.
The general term or the nth 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
You will notice that for the first three terms, the pattern is adding 1, you
can now get the 4th and the 5th term using the pattern.
The sequence is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
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
You will notice that for the first three terms, the pattern is adding 3, you
can now get the 4th and the 5th term using the pattern.
The sequence is 4, 7, 10, 13, 16.
8
3. an = 3 + 4n
Solution: Substitute numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to n
If n = 1, then a1 = 3 + 4(1) = 7
If n = 2, then a2 = 3 + 4(2) = 11
If n = 3, then a3 = 3 + 4(3) = 15
You will notice that for the first three terms, the pattern is adding 4, you
can now get the 4th and the 5th term using the pattern.
The sequence is 7, 11, 15, 19, 23.
4. an = n2
Solution: Substitute numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to n
If n = 1, then a1 = 12 = 1
If n = 2, then a2 = 22 = 4
If n = 3, then a3 = 32 = 9
You will notice that for the first three terms are the perfect squares
numbers, you can now get the 4th and the 5th term using the pattern.
The sequence is 1, 4, 9, 16, 25.
9
Examples: Determine whether the given sequence is arithmetic or not. If it is arithmetic,
then determine the common difference.
1. 6, 11, 16, 21
Solution: Subtracting any two consecutive terms: 11 – 6 = 5, 16 – 11 = 5,
21 – 16 = 5.
Therefore, the sequence 87, 98, 109, 120, 131 is an arithmetic sequence
with common difference 11.
Therefore, the sequence 4, 16, 64, 256, 1024 is not arithmetic sequence
there is no common difference.
5. 1, 4, 9, 16, 25
Solution: Subtracting any two consecutive terms: 4 – 1 = 3, 9 – 4 = 5,
the difference between any two consecutive terms are not the same.
