This document discusses generating sequences and finding rules for sequences. It provides examples of term-to-term rules, where each term is determined by the previous term, and position-to-term rules, where the term is determined by the position number. Examples are given of sequences where the term increases by a fixed amount each time or where the term is a multiple of the position number. The document teaches how to write out the first few terms of a sequence given its rules, and how to determine later terms or terms at specific positions.

8. POSITION-TO-TERM RULE
Position number 1 2 3 4
Term 3 6 9 12
Multiples of 3
(Kelipatan 3)
3 6 9 12
3, 6, 9, 12, … (and so on)
Term-to-term rule is add 3
Position-to-term rule is
Term = 3 x position number
3 x 1 = 3 3 x 2 = 6 3 x 3 = 9 3 x 4 = 12

9. POSITION-TO-TERM RULE
Work out the 21st term.
Term = 3 x position number - 4
Anwer:
The 21st term = 3 x 21 - 4
Example:
POSITION-TO-TERM RULE
Example:

10. Write down the first four terms of this sequence:
First term = 3 ; term-to-term rule = add 2
Answer:
…, …, …, …
Example:

11. Lesson Recap
Term = an individual number in a sequence
Term-to-term rule = a rule to find a term of a
sequence, given the previous term
Position-to-term rule = a rule to find a term of
a sequence, look the position number

12. Practice
Write down the first four terms of each
sequence:
A. First term = 2 ; term-to-term rule =
subtract 2
B. First term = 3 ; term-to-term rule =
add 5

13. Practice
Write down the first four terms of each
sequence:
C. First term = -1 ; term-to-term rule = subtract 5
D. First term = -10 ; term-to-term rule = add 20

14. Practice
2. The first term of a sequence is 5.
The term-to-term rule is add 10.
What is the 20th term of a sequence?
Explain how you worked out your answer!

15. Practice
3. Work out the 10th term.
Term = 2 x position number + 3
Anwer:
The 10th term = … x … + …
= …
