A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW

Introduction
Welcome to Pre-Calculus Class! Before we explore the wonders of trigonometry and analytic geometry,
can you recall which grade level mathematics in Junior High School you learned about differentiating a
series from a sequence? Also, you have established before some basic concepts of making patterns
from the given consecutive terms. Why are those past lessons important to our lesson today? To find
out begin by reading the learning targets. The learning targets will serve as your guide and goal in
studying this lesson.

Sequence
A sequence refers to an ordered list of elements. Term is called to each number in a sequence. It is
often denoted by 𝑎𝑛 , where n is the position of an element in the sequence. Sequence has two
groups, these are:

• Finite Sequence has a limited and specific number of terms. The terms are countable. There
is a last term, and the sequence stops after that term.
Example:
1. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

Term 1 2 3 4 5

Sol’n. This sequence consists of five terms and has a clear endpoint. It starts with 2 and increments
by 2 for each subsequent term, stopping at 10. The sequence is finite because it doesn't continue
indefinitely, and there is a specific number of terms.

2. Sarah is saving money in her piggy bank. Every week, she adds $5 to the amount she has
saved. If she starts with $10 and continues this pattern for six weeks, what is the sequence of
the total amount of money in her piggy bank each week?

Sol’n. Let's represent the total amount of money in Sarah's piggy bank each week as a sequence.
The first term is the initial amount, and each subsequent term is obtained by adding $5.

Week 1 – 10 php (term 1)


Week 2 – 10 php + 5 php = 15 php (term 2)
Week 3 – 15 php + 5 php = 20 php (term 3)
Week 4 – 20 php + 5 php = 25 php (term 4)
Week 5 – 25 php + 5 php = 30 php (term 5)
Week 6 – 30 php + 5 php = 35 php (term 6)

So, the finite sequence representing the total amount of money in Sarah's piggy bank for six weeks is:
10,15,20,25,30,35.

• Infinite Sequence continues indefinitely without a specific endpoint. There is no last term, and
the sequence goes on forever.

Example:
1. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, . . .

Sol’n.
In the given example 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, …, the “…” is what we called an ellipsis which indicates that
there is a continuation or a pattern extends indefinitely. This sequence is an infinite sequence.

2. Let an represent the population of bacteria after n hours. Given that the population doubles every
hour represented by the equation 𝑎𝑛 = 2𝑛−1 , where n is the number of hours. Construct the sequence
and explain why it is an infinite sequence.

Sol’n:

Write the first two terms of the sequence whose Try This!
nth term is given by the formula.
Write the first two terms of the sequence whose
𝑎𝑛 = n + 1 nth term is given by the formula.

𝑎𝑛 = 4n + 3
1st term: n= 1 𝑎1 = 1 + 1 substitute n with 1
𝑎1 = 2

2nd term: n= 2 𝑎2 = 2 + 1 substitute n with 2


𝑎2 = 3

First two terms: 2, 3

Series
A series is the indicated sum of the terms of a sequence.

Sigma Notation (∑)


∑4𝑛=1 2𝑛, where n is called the index of summation.

Example:
1. To find the series of the given sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, you will have the solution:
2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 = 30

2. ∑4𝑛=1 2𝑛 = 2(1) + 2(2) + 2(3) + 2(4) = 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 20

an additional P5,000. What will be the total money deposited after 5 months?

2. Consider a scenario where you buy a correction tape that costs P35 initially, and its price
increases by P5 every time. The total cost after 3 purchases is the product of the terms.

C. LESSON WRAP-UP

Summary
• A sequence is an ordered list of numbers, where each number is called a term . It can be a
FINITE or INFINITE sequence.
• A series is the sum of the terms in a sequence.

FAQs
1. How can we apply the concept of series/sequence in our daily life?
Sequences are useful in our daily lives as well as in higher mathematics. For example, the
interest portion of monthly payments made to pay off an automobile or home loan, and the list
of maximum daily temperatures in one area for a month are sequences.
