Outlines
📚 Introduction to Sequences
This paragraph introduces the concept of sequences to grade 10 students, highlighting four main types: arithmetic, geometric, harmonic, and Fibonacci sequences. It defines a sequence as an ordered set of numbers following a specific pattern or rule. The first term is denoted as a_1, with subsequent terms represented as a_2, a_3, etc. Examples are given to illustrate how to identify the pattern in a sequence, such as multiples of three or subtracting five to find the next term. The paragraph also introduces the idea of generating the first five terms of a sequence, setting the stage for further exploration of different types of sequences.
🔍 Calculating Terms in Defined Sequences
In this paragraph, the focus shifts to calculating specific terms in sequences defined by formulas. The first example involves a sequence where f(n) = 1/(2n), and the task is to find the first five terms. The calculation process is detailed, showing how to substitute values of n into the formula to obtain terms like 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, and 1/10. The second example deals with a sequence defined by b(n) = 2n - 4, where the challenge is to find the seventh and tenth terms. The method of substitution is again used, resulting in terms 10 and 16. The paragraph concludes with an encouragement to watch the next video on series, indicating a continuation of the mathematical exploration.

this tutorial video is for grade 10
introduction for sequences
you will encounter four different types
of sequences
we have the arithmetic sequence
geometric sequence
harmonic sequence and the fibonacci
sequence
but before we discuss all those four
sequences
let us first define what is a sequence
a sequence it is an ordered set
of numbers formed according to some
pattern or rule so
sequence is telling about the pattern or
rule
and that is denoted by for the first
term we have
for the first pattern term we know we
will name it as
term the a1
for the first term a sub 2 for the
second term
a sub 3 for the third term a sub 4 for
the fourth term and so on
okay let's say we have
0 3 6 9 12.
so this is our a1 a sub 2
a sub 3 a sub 4 and a sub 5.
what will be our a sub 6
and a sub 7 a6 and a7
look at the pattern 0 3 6
9 12 the pattern is
the multiples of three
so next will be 15
next 15 is 18
[Music]
another example 11
6 1 negative 4 negative 9
what will be our next term
and next to it so our next term is
take a look at the pattern
we subtract five
to get the succeeding term
so eleven minus five that is six
six minus five that is one
one minus five negative four
negative four minus five negative nine
so the next term is negative 9
minus 5 negative 14
next to negative 14 is negative 19.
okay
next pattern is 200
100 50
25 we're going to find the next two
terms
so what rule did we use in our pattern
100 if we're going to divide by 2
that is a 200 if we're going to divide
by 2
will give us 100 100
if we're going to divide by 2 will give
us
50. 50 50 divided by 2
25 so the next step is
25 divided by 2
that is 12.5
to get the next term 12.5
divided by 2 so 12.5
divided by 2 so that is
6 12
bring down 5
then 0 0
then 50 divided by 2 25
so two decimal one two period so
6.25
so our next pattern or the next term
is 6.25
so that is the sequence again
you will encounter the arithmetic
sequence
geometric sequence harmonic sequence and
the fibonacci sequence let's have
another example for our
sequence
generate the first five terms
of the sequence defined by f of n
is equal to one over 2 n
so we need to get the first five terms
the a sub 1 a sub 2 a sub 3 a sub 4 and
a
sub 5.
so let's solve
if we have the first term or the f sub 1
is equal to 1 over just substitute
and to our value of n
in this case one so two times
one so one over
two times one which is two this will be
our
f1 or the first term next
f of two one over
change n to two two times two
one over two times two
which is four next
f of three one over
two times three
so one over two times three
six f of four
one over two times
four which is one over
eight and last
f of five one over
two times five which is one over ten
first five terms the first second third
fourth and fifth now let us
try to write our sequence
so our sequence is one-half
fourth one over six
one over eight and
one over
this is now our first five
terms of the sequence defined by
f of n is equal to one over two m
and now our second example given the
sequence
described by b of
n is equal to two n minus four
find the seventh and the tenth
term so we're going to find
b seven and
b of ten
so copy two n minus four
to n minus four next will be
substitute n
to our value so
two times seven
minus four two times seven
that is fourteen minus four
and fourteen minus four is 10
next 2 times 10 minus 4
2 times 10 that is 20 minus 4
and this is 16. so this will be
our seventh term
and 16 will be our
ten terms so that is the
sequence now before we proceed in the
arithmetic sequence
geometric sequence fibonacci and
harmonic sequence
i will introduce to you first what is
series
in our next video you should watch what
is a series
thank you for watching senior pablo tv
