Consider the first five terms of the number sequence shown: The difference between adjacent terms is 3. position 1st 2nd 3rd terms 5, 8, 11, 14, 17,………………..? difference +2 3 3 4th 3 5th................................nth 3 We want to obtain a general rule that gives us the value of any term (nth) in the sequence as a function of the term’s position. n 3n 3n ?+ 2 Can you see how the numbers of this sequence are 5 1 3 related to those in the 3 times table? 8 2 6 Adjacent numbers in the 3 times table also differ by 3. The terms in this sequence are 2 bigger than the numbers in the 3 times table. 3 9 11 4 12 14 3n + 2 5 15 17 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th.........nth 5, 8, 11, 14, 17,…..? +2 3 3 3 3 3, 7, 11, 15, 19,…..? -1 4 4 4 = 3n + 2 4 = 4n - 1 n 4n 4n ?- 1 1 4 3 2 8 7 3 12 11 4 16 15 5 20 19 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th.........nth 5, 8, 11, 14, 17,…..? +2 3 3 3 3 3, 7, 11, 15, 19,…..? -1 4 4 4 4 8, 13, 18, 23, 28,…..? +3 5 5 5 3n + 2 5 4n - 1 5n + 3 n 5n 5n ?+ 3 1 5 8 2 10 13 3 15 18 4 20 23 5 25 28 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th.........nth 5, 8, 11, 14, 17,…..? +2 3 3 3 3 3, 7, 11, 15, 19,…..? -1 4 4 4 4 8, 13, 18, 23, 28,…..? +3 5 5 5 5 -1, 1, 3, 5, 7,…..? -3 2 2 2 3n + 2 4n - 1 5n + 3 2n - 3 2 1. The common difference tells you the multiple of n required for the first part of the rule. 2. The second part of the rule is obtained by subtracting the first term and the common difference. 2a. This is equivalent to asking yourself what you need to do to the common difference to get to the value of the first term. Lesson 12 Sequences and nth term Mathswatch clip (65/112). Some for you to try.. List the first five terms of each sequence: 1) 8n 2) 3n 3) 3n - 3 4) 5n + 2 5) 7n - 5 Finding the general rule (nth term) of a linear sequence The terms in this sequence 4, 7, +3 10, +3 13, +3 16, 19, +3 +3 22, +3 25, … +3 can be found by adding 3 each time. This means that the sequence has 3n as part of the general rule. 4, 1 -3 7, 10, +3 13, +3 16, +3 19, +3 22, +3 25, … +3 To find the next part of the general rule we go back to find the previous term. So the general rule (nth term) will be 3n + 1 Find the general rule (nth term) of this sequence The terms in this sequence are: 2, 7, +5 12, +5 17, +5 22, 27, +5 +5 32, +5 37, … +5 can be found by adding 5 each time. This means that the sequence has 5n as part of the general rule. 2, -3 -5 7, 12, +5 17, +5 22, +5 27, +5 32, +5 37, … +5 To find the next part of the general rule we go back to find the previous term. So the general rule (nth term) will be 5n - 3 Lesson 12 Some for you to try Mathswatch clip (65/112).
