1.1 SEQUENCE ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],1 st term 2nd term 3 rd term 4 th term 5 th term 1 st term 2nd term 3 rd term 4 th term 5 th term Each no in the list is called a term . Each term are separated by commas . Finite sequence end after a certain no of terms. Infinite sequence is one that continues indefinitely (non stop). finite sequence infinite sequence

1.1.1 Finding the formula for the n th terms of a sequence ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The formula for the terms in sequence can be given as a formula for the n th term. 2/(5 n ) 2(n)+1

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Write the first 6 terms of x(k)=2 k . Solution: The first 6 terms is 2,4,8,16,32,64

Summation notation is Finite series end after a certain no of terms. Infinite series is one that continues indefinitely (non stop). finite series infinite series Last value of r in the sequence First value of r in the sequence First value of r in the sequence Infinity

Application Problems ,[object Object],4. A restaurant has square tables which seat four people. When two tables are placed together, six people can be seated. If 20 square tables are placed together to form one long table, how many people can be seated? If 1000 square tables are placed together to form one very long table, how many people can be seated?( 42, 2002 )
