Sequences and Functions
A look-and-say sequence begins with a number in which the next term is obtained
by describing the previous term. The digits are what you would say as you are
writing down the number digit by digit.
121, 111211, 311221, …
The first number in the sequence above is 121. This number is read as “one 1, then one
2, then one 1” or “111211.”
Describe 111211. It is read as “three 1’s, then one 2, then two 1’s.”
So, the third digit is three, one, one, two, two, one, or 311221.

1. Find the next three terms of the sequence from above.

2. Find the next three terms of look-and-say sequence 2, 12, 1112.

3. Find the next three terms of look-and-say sequence 4, 14, 1114.

4. Begin with the number 3. What are the first five terms of this look-and-say
sequence?

5. Find the next three terms of look-and-say sequence 53, 1513, 11151113.

6. What will be the next term of the look-and-say sequence 22, 22, 22? Explain.
