Introduction
to
Sequence
OBJECTIVES:
At any point of the lesson, you are
expected to:
• generate and describe patterns
to find the next few terms of a
sequence;
• give the terms of the sequence
given its general term; and,
• illustrates an arithmetic
sequence.
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
Finite
Sequence
a sequence that have a
first term and a last
term. The number of
terms can be
determine.
Infinite
Sequence
a sequence
without
ending.
Infinite
Sequence
The number of
terms cannot be
determine.
Infinite
Sequence
It has an ellipsis
symbol (…) which
means it is
unending.
Examples of
Finite Sequence
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.
In the sequence 1,
2, 4, 8
The pattern is by
multiplying 2.
In the sequence
85, 80, 75, 70, 65
The pattern is by
subtracting 5.
Finding the
Next Term of a
Sequence
To find the next
terms of a sequence
simply look for the
pattern and apply it
to the last term.
Examples: Find the next
three terms of the given
sequence.
1. 3, 6, 9, 12, ____, ____,
____
2. 243, 81, 27, ____,
____, ____
3. 2, 8, 32, ____, ____,
____
4.-34, -64, -94, ____,
____, ____
5. 12, 24, 36, ____, ____,
____
Finding the
General Term or
nth Term of a
Sequence
the nth term of a
sequence is a formula
that will generate a
sequence, where n is a
natural number (1, 2,
3,..)
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
If n = 4, then

a4 = 4 + 3 =
7
If n = 5, then

a5 = 5 + 3 =
8
If n = 1, then

a1 = 3(1) + 1
=4
an = 3n + 1
If n = 2, then
a2 = 3(2) + 1
=7
an = 3n + 1
If n = 3, then
a3 = 3(3) + 1
= 10
an = 3n + 1
If n = 4, then
a4 = 3(4) + 1
= 13
an = 3n + 1
If n = 5, then
a5 = 3(5) + 1
= 16
3. an = 3 + 4n
If n = 1, then
a1 = 3 + 4(1)
=7
an = 3 + 4n
If n = 2, then
a2 = 3 + 4(2)
= 11
an = 3 + 4n
If n = 3, then
a3 = 3 + 4(3) = 15
an = 3 + 4n
If n = 4, then
a4 = 3 + 4(4) = 19
an = 3 + 4n
If n = 5, then
a5 = 3 + 4(5) = 23
4. an =n2

If n = 1, then
a1 = 1 = 1
2
an =n2

If n = 2, then
a2 = 2 = 4
2
an =n2

If n = 3, then
a3 = 3 = 9
2
an =n2

If n = 4, then
a4 = 4 = 16
2
an =n2

If n = 5, then
a5 = 5 = 25
2
ARITHMETIC
SEQUENCE
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.
If the arithmetic
sequence is
increasing, then its
common difference
is positive.
If the arithmetic
sequence is
decreasing, then its
common difference
is negative.
1. 6, 11, 16, 21
Solution: Subtracting
any two consecutive
terms: 11 – 6 = 5, 16
– 11 = 5, 21 – 16 = 5.
Therefore, the
sequence 6, 11, 16,
21 is an arithmetic
sequence with
common difference
5.
2. 87, 98, 109,
120, 131
3. 4, 16, 64, 256,
1024
4. 75, 69, 63, 57
5. 1, 4, 9, 16, 25
