Finding General Term of a
Sequence
Example 1. Find the general term of the
sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, …
Solution Observe the following.
2 = 2(1) – means 1st term
4 = 2(2) - 2nd term
6 = 2(3) - 3rd term
8 = 2(4) - 4th term
⋮ ⋮
The pattern is 2n where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, … or n is the position of each term in a sequence.
So, the general term of the sequence is f(n) = 2n.
Example 2. Find the general term of the
sequence 1, 3, 5, 7, …
Solution Observe the following.
1 = 2(1) – 1
3 = 2(2) – 1
5 = 2(3) – 1
7 = 2(4) – 1
⋮ ⋮
The pattern is 2n – 1 where n = {1, 2, 3, 4, …}.
So, the general term of the sequence is f(n) = 2n – 1.
Example 3. Find the general term of the
sequence 2, 4, 8, 16, …
Solution We can express in this manner:
2 = 21
4 = 22
8 = 23
16 = 24
⋮ ⋮
The pattern is is 2n where n = {1, 2, 3, 4, …}.
So, the general term of the sequence is f(n) = 2n.
Example 4. Find the general term of the
sequence 1, 4, 9, 16, …
Solution We can be express each term in the
following manner:
1 = (1)2
4 = (2)2
9 = (3)2
16 = (4)2
⋮ ⋮
The pattern is n2 where n = {1, 2, 3, 4, …}.
So, the general term of the sequence is f(n) = n2 .
Theres no definite way or rule in finding the nth term of
a given sequences. The following are helpful guide.
• 1. Find out if there is a common difference between two terms of
the given sequence of numbers.
• 2. Find out if there is a common factor among the terms of the
given sequences of numbers.
• 3. Find out if the given sequence is expressible in exponential form
with a common base.

General term

  • 1. Finding General Term of a Sequence
  • 2. Example 1. Find the general term of the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, … Solution Observe the following. 2 = 2(1) – means 1st term 4 = 2(2) - 2nd term 6 = 2(3) - 3rd term 8 = 2(4) - 4th term ⋮ ⋮ The pattern is 2n where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, … or n is the position of each term in a sequence. So, the general term of the sequence is f(n) = 2n.
  • 3. Example 2. Find the general term of the sequence 1, 3, 5, 7, … Solution Observe the following. 1 = 2(1) – 1 3 = 2(2) – 1 5 = 2(3) – 1 7 = 2(4) – 1 ⋮ ⋮ The pattern is 2n – 1 where n = {1, 2, 3, 4, …}. So, the general term of the sequence is f(n) = 2n – 1.
  • 4. Example 3. Find the general term of the sequence 2, 4, 8, 16, … Solution We can express in this manner: 2 = 21 4 = 22 8 = 23 16 = 24 ⋮ ⋮ The pattern is is 2n where n = {1, 2, 3, 4, …}. So, the general term of the sequence is f(n) = 2n.
  • 5. Example 4. Find the general term of the sequence 1, 4, 9, 16, … Solution We can be express each term in the following manner: 1 = (1)2 4 = (2)2 9 = (3)2 16 = (4)2 ⋮ ⋮ The pattern is n2 where n = {1, 2, 3, 4, …}. So, the general term of the sequence is f(n) = n2 .
  • 6. Theres no definite way or rule in finding the nth term of a given sequences. The following are helpful guide. • 1. Find out if there is a common difference between two terms of the given sequence of numbers. • 2. Find out if there is a common factor among the terms of the given sequences of numbers. • 3. Find out if the given sequence is expressible in exponential form with a common base.
