2 Sequences, Expressions and Formulae

2.1 Generating sequences
1 a 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 b 10, 13, 16, 19, 22
c 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 d 20, 18, 16, 14, 12
2 a 5; 8, 10 b 4, 5; 8, 9, 10 c 2, 3, 4, 5; 1, 2, 3, 4

2.2 Finding rules for sequences

1 a Term-to-term rule is ‘Add 4’
numbers for table: 8, 12, 16, 20
term = position number × 4

b Term-to-term rule is ‘Add 2’

numbers for table: 4, 6, 8, 10; 7, 9, 8, 11, 10, 13
term = position number × 2 + 3

c term-to-term rule is ‘Add 5’,

numbers for table: 10, 15, 20, 25; 1, 1, 1, 15, 1, 20, 1, 25, 1
term = position number × 5 + 1

2.3 Using the nth term

1 a 7, 8 b 11, 12, 13, 14 c 0, 1, 2, 3 d 10, 15, 20, 25 e 8, 11, 14

2.4 Using functions and mappings

1 a 7; 9, 10 b 7; 3, 4
2 a 4; 8, 9, 10; y = x + 6
b 8, 6; 5, 3, 1; y = x – 5

2.5 Constructing linear expressions

1 I add 1 counter to the bag, so there are now → y + 1
I take 1 counter out of the bag, which leaves → y – 1
I add 5 counters to the bag, so there are now → y + 5
I take 5 counters out of the bag, which leaves → y – 5
I add 8 counters to the bag, so there are now → y + 8
I take 8 counter out of the bag, which leaves → y – 8

14 Ratio and proportion

14.1 Sharing in a ratio
1 Dai Eva Fin
$1 $3 $4 $1 + $3 + $4 = $8
$1 $3 $4 $1 + $3 + $4 = $8
$2 $6 $8 $2 + $6 + $8 = £16
So Dai gets $2, Eva gets $6 and Fin gets $8
2 Gan Han Ian
2 + 3 + 5 = 10 counters
2 + 3 + 5 = 10 counters
2 + 3 + 5 = 10 counters
6 9 15 6 + 9 + 15 = 30 counters
So, Gan gets 6 counters, Han gets 9 counters and Ian gets 15 counters

b d = 4 cm
C = π × d = 3.14 × 4

c d = 8 cm
C = π × d = 3.14 × 8
