The values within a sequence are called terms
The values in a sequence are called terms
We use n to describe the position of a term in the sequence for example n=2 gives the second term
The formula for the general term or nth term allows us to
  • Generate the sequence
  • Find the value of a specific term in a sequence
  • E.g. 4n-3 generates the sequence 1,5,9,13,17…

All terms in the sequence are connected by the same rule
The rule for a linear sequence is of the form:
an +/- b
Given a linear sequence we construct a table of values to help us determine its rule
The constant difference of a linear sequence is its multiplier
The correction number, b, is what we add or take away to get from the number in the times table to the term in the sequence
When we know a and b we can write the rule for a linear sequence e.g. 2n+5
