 Patterns
 types of procedures or rules
that can be followed
 useful to predict what came
before or what might come
after a set a numbers that are
arranged in a particular order.
 Sequence
 arrangement of numbers
(separated by comma)
 Rule
 way to find the value of each
term in a sequence
 Terms
 The number of the sequence
of numbers
 nth term – is the term that can
be used in finding any term of
the sequence
 Arithmetic Sequences
 sequence in which there is a
common difference between
consecutive terms.
 common difference is the
difference between any term
and the term that proceeds
that term.
 An = A1 + (N-1)d
 Geometric Sequences
 a sequence whose
consecutive terms have a
common ratio
