Sequences Guide

The document outlines seven types of mathematical sequences and methods for generating or analyzing them. Each type includes a concept and an example, ranging from plug and play sequences to solving recurrence relations and summations. The methods emphasize different approaches such as pattern recognition, real-world growth, and translating words into numerical lists.

Type 1: Plug and Play Sequences

Concept: Replace n in the formula to find required terms.

Example: a■ = 7 + 4n → Terms: 7, 11, 15, 19

Type 2: Translating Words to Lists


Concept: Convert sentences into number patterns.

Example: Start with 2, add 3 → 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29

Type 3: Stepping Stone Method (Recurrence)


Concept: Each term depends on previous terms.

Example: a■ = a■■■ + 3a■■■ → 1, 2, 5, 11, 26

Type 4: Real■World Growth


Concept: Growth or decay using multiplication.

Example: Bacteria triples → a■ = 100 × 3■ → a■■ = 5,904,900

Type 5: Pattern Recognition


Concept: Identify arithmetic, geometric, or power patterns.

Example: 7, 11, 15, 19 → a■ = 7 + 4(n−1)

Type 6: Solving Recurrence Relations


Concept: Use characteristic equations.

Example: a■ = 3a■■■ + 4a■■■ → a■ = 4■ + (−1)■

Type 7: Summations
Concept: Add all terms of a sequence.

Example: Sum = n/2 (first + last) → Sum = 35,777
