Repeat the question for the fourth term, again emphasizing the word fourth. Ask what the eighth term is using exponents. If we have to find the th term, knowing that it is 2 is a lot quicker than having to find all terms that come before it.
How do you find the x th term in this pattern? Repeat a few of these, and ask what the x th term will be. Students should make the leap and recognize that the term number and the power are the same, and so the x th term will be 2 x.
Are there differences? Are there similarities? The second formula sometimes includes exponents greater than 1. This number is the coefficient. The pattern had a constant increase of 3 and is represented in the formula as the coefficient.
These recognitions will be important as we explore linear functions later on. Notice the second formula, , has a constant multiplier of 2 included. This number is the constant multiplier in the second pattern. In other words, if we graphed the points as ordered pairs on a coordinate plane, would the resulting graph be a line or some other shape? Students should realize that the first graph is a line, whereas the second graph is nonlinear.
The constant change, whether it is a difference or a ratio, does matter when determining the graph of the pattern. You will determine the rule for the sequence and show your steps and reasoning.
A partially finished table is shown below. We can list the terms of the pattern from the rule. To find out what the first term is, we just substitute 1 wherever we see x.
What is the second term in this pattern? This is simply a model. You will want to include more than just the values shown. You can just substitute in for x and get the answer you want. Have students work in pairs. Each student should come up with a pattern, with creativity encouraged. Students should be given time to explore the possibilities. This pattern is a lot harder, so give students enough time to work to discover the formula, but not so long that they become frustrated.
Students should replace the y -value for the x th term with the formula found above. Encourage students to plot the points in the second graph to make the distinction see below. Students should notice the sporadic plotted points in the graph. A nice discussion related to the multiplication by a negative number and result on the graph can ensue.
Have students find the total number of diagonals possible in each polygon and look for a rule that can be used to determine the total number of diagonals. Remind students that a diagonal is a line segment joining two vertices of a polygon, not including the line segments that form the sides of a polygon.
Have students create their own graphic organizer to represent their findings from this activity. The total number of diagonals possible in a polygon can be determined with the following rule: , where v is the number of vertices of a polygon and d is the total number of diagonals.

Understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations.
A sequence contains members, which are sometimes called elements or terms, and the number of elements is called the length of the sequence.
There are finite and infinite sequences. There is no restriction on terms in the sequence. The example A, B, C, D is a sequence of letters. Some sequences are simply random values, while some sequences have a definite pattern. However, a sequence should follow some rules for calculating on it. What is the difference between pattern and sequence? What is the pattern in the sequence? How do you tell if a sequence is a function?
How do you classify patterns? What are the most popular design patterns? What are the 5 OOP principles? Which design pattern is used in your project?

Practice Questions Solved Examples Example 1: Determine the value of D in the sequence of numbers: 11, 17, 23, 29, D , 41, 47, 53 Solution: In th e given sequence, we can see the pattern of every number is increasing by adding the number 6 to obtain the next consecutive number.
Example 2: Determine the value of P in the sequence of numbers: 1, 4, 9, P , 25 Solution: In the given sequence, the pattern that we see is that every number is the square of the counting numbers. The square of 1 is 1, the square of 2 is 4, and so on. Hence, the missing number 'P' is a square of 4 which is Breakdown tough concepts through simple visuals. Math will no longer be a tough subject, especially when you understand the concepts through visualizations.
