NUMBER PATTERN
● Fibonacci Sequence
- 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89,
144, 233
- After the first two terms, each term is
obtained by adding two previous
terms
- If Fsubn represents Fibonacci number
in the nth position in the sequence,
then:
Fsub1 = 1
Fsub2 = 1
Fsubn = Fsubn-2 + Fsubn-1,
for n ≥ 3. ● Sequence
- A mathematical sequence is a series
of numbers connected by a rule. This
rule defines their pattern
- Each part of a sequence is called a
term
- How moving from one term to the next
is called the term to term rule
1. Arithmetic sequence
- Addition and subtraction
● Golden Ratio
- 1.618 2. Geometric sequence
- Multiplication or division
- Finding specific terms
➢ Example: What is the 70th term in
this sequence?
➢ All sequences have a position to
term rule
➢ The position we are looking for is
n.
➢ 3 is the common difference
➢ Therefore 3n-1
➢ 3(70)-1 = 209
