SEQUENCES
A sequence is a collection of terms arranged in a specific order, where each
term is obtained according to a rule.
Arithmetic sequences
In an arithmetic sequence there is a common difference (d) between
successive terms.
nth term: tn = t1 + d(n - 1)
tn = 3 + 3(n - 1)
= 3 + 3n - 3
= 3n
OR
Quadratic Sequence
The row of 2nd differences is constant, and so the rule for the nth term is
therefore a quadratic which takes the form
tn = an2 + bn + c.
By substituting the values of n into the rule, each term can be expressed in
terms of a, b and c as shown:
Comparing the two tables, the values of a, b and c can be deduced:
2a = 4 therefore a = 2
3a + b = 7 therefore 6 + b = 7 giving b = 1
a + b + c = 0 therefore 2 + 1 + c = 0 giving c = −3
The rule for the nth term, tn = an2 + bn + c can be written as
tn = 2n2 + n − 3.
Cubic Sequence
The row of 3rd differences is constant, and so the rule for the nth term is
therefore cubic which takes the form
tn = an3 + bn2 + cn + d.
Therefore, the equation for the nth term is tn = n3 − 4n2 + 3n − 6.
Exponential Sequence
tn = arn - 1 where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.
tn = 2 x 2n - 1
= 2n

Addition
Upper bound UB of a + b = UB a + UB b
Lower bound LB of a + b = LB a + LB b
Subtraction
Upper bound UB of a - b = UB a - LB b
Lower bound LB of a - b = LB a - UB b
Multiplication
Upper bound UB of a x b = UB a x UB b
Lower bound LB of a x b = LB a x LB b
Division
Upper bound UB of a ÷ b = UB a ÷ LB b
Lower bound LB of a ÷ b = LB a ÷ UB b

Area Scale
1 cm = 1000 cm
1 cm = 10 m
1 cm2 = 102 m2
1 cm2 = 100 m2
? = 5000 m2
Area in cm2 = 5000 ÷ 100
= 50 cm2
