Patterns and Sequences

2

FINITE OR INFINITE

1,2,3,4,5,...

INFINITE

4

Is this a pattern or a set

7, 1, 0, 3, 4, 2, 5

Set---order doesn't matter, and there are no repetitions in the numbers.

6

True or False

A Sequence is a set of terms in which each term can only repeat once.

False---Set

10

What do you call the first term and the last term of a sequence?

Extremes

15

Sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed and _____, and follows a particular ____/ ____

Order matter, rule/pattern

General Term

2

2, 3, 4, 5, 6

a_n=n+1

4

What are the first 5 terms of:

6n+7

13, 19, 25, 31, 37

6

What is the general term in:

3, 6, 11, 18, 27

a_n=a²+2

10

What is a general term in the sequence:

1/2, 1/5, 1/10, 1/17, 1/26

a_n=1/(n²+1) 

15

What is the general term in:

10, 15, 27, 50

NONE

Finite Series

2

What is the sum of the sequence:

1,3,5,7,9

25

4

Identify the parts:

(1.)

Σ (2.)

n=(3.)

1. Upper limit

2. General Term

3. Index/ Lower Limit

6

Write the sigma notation of the given sequence (n=1):

1,8,27,64

4 

Σ (n³)

n=1

10

What is the sum of this summation:

5
Σ 2n+1

n=1

None, since there is no parenthesis in the general term.

15

Find the sum:

8

Σ [n(n+1)/2]

n=3

116

Arithmetic

2

True or False: 

In the sequence 1, 4, 7, 10, the r is 3

FALSE---d=3 not r

4

Find the 67th term of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

a₆₇=134

6

What is the d where the 3th term is 67 and the 5th term is 101?

d=17

10

The 6th term of a sequence is 69, and the 9th term of a sequence is 420. What formula could make this sequence?

a_n=117n-633

15
