Since a given sequence of numbers can be designed to follow any rule, you have to use a system of trial and error to see if you can discover the rule. Sometimes the rule is obvious, sometimes it is extremely complicated. Try to invent a rule which would produce the sequence that you observe.

What is the rule in generating a sequence?

Anything you like. You specify whatever rule you like and the resulting set of numbers is the sequence based on that rule.


A sequence of numbers that follows a rule is a what?

It is a sequence of numbers. That is all. The sequence could be arithmetic, geometric, harmonic, exponential or be defined by a rule that does not fit into any of these categories. It could even be random.


What does sequential patterns mean in math?

A sequence is an ordered set of numbers. There may be a rule governing the sequence such that, if you know the numbers in the sequence up to a particular point, the rule will allow you to deduce the value of the next number in the sequence. That rule - if it exists - is the sequential pattern.


A sequence of numbers was generated using the rule 3N minus 2 where n represents a numbers position in the sequence. Write a sequence that fits this rule?

1, 4, 7, 10, 13, …


What is the difference between an arithmetic series and an arithmetic sequence?

An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers which follow a rule. A series is the sum of a sequence of numbers.


What is sequence in Calculus term?

It is an ordered set of elements. These elements may or may not be numbers, there may or may not be a defining rule - for example a sequence of random numbers.


What is the rule to the Fibonacci sequence?

The rule for the sequence is an = xn-1 + xn-2The sequence of numbers, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, . . . , in which each successive number is equal to the sum of the two preceding numbers.


What is a sequence in a math subject?

A sequence is a set of numbers, which are identified by their position in the set. That is to say, there is a function mapping the counting numbers {1, 2, 3, ... } to the set. The counting numbers may include 0. There may or may not be a rule governing the numbers. For example, a random sequence, by definition, should have no rule.


What make a number sequence?

A number sequence is an ordered set of numbers. There can be a rule such that the next number in the sequence can be determined by the values of some or all of the preceding terms in the sequence. However, the sequence for a random walk illustrates that such a rule is not necessary to define a sequence.


Which rule will find the nth term of the arithmetic sequence -58 -65 -72 -86?

It appears that a number of -79 is missing in the sequence and so if you meant -58 -65 -72 -79 -86 then the nth term is -7n-51 which makes 6th term in the sequence -93


What is the rule for this sequence of numbers 2 3 5 7?

Those are the first four prime numbers.


How do you count triplets in a sequence of numbers?

To count triplets in a sequence of numbers, you look for sets of three consecutive numbers that follow a pattern or rule. You can identify triplets by examining the sequence and noting when three numbers appear in a row that meet the specified criteria.
