Fibonacci squares
Cut out two 1 cm by 1 cm squares and place them side-by-side to form a rectangle.
The longest side of this rectangle is 2 cm. You could also do this by
Cut out a 2 cm square and place it against the long edge of the drawing the squares.
rectangle to form a larger rectangle.
Repeat the process.
Look at the longest side of the new rectangle.
What size square do you need to cut out now? Place this square against the longest side of the
rectangle to form a new rectangle.
Write down the length of each square’s sides as a sequence:
1, 1, 2, ... Hint: your eighth square should
have a side length of 21 cm.
Continue the pattern until you have eight squares.
The numbers form a very famous sequence called the Fibonacci sequence, which you will learn about in Section 1.2.
1.1 Arithmetic sequences

① Continue these sequences for three more terms:
a 3, 6, 9, 12, ... b 45, 50, 55, 60, ... c 13, 23, 33, 43, ... d 11, 22, 33, 44, ...
② Substitute n = 1, n = 2 and n = 3 into these expressions:
a 3n b n + 4 c 5n − 1 d 100n − 2
Arithmetic sequences
Look at this sequence of numbers:
3, 6, 9, 12 . . .
This sequence is based on the three times table.
The 1st term is 3 × 1 = 3.
3n is called the formula or the
The 4th term is 3 × 4 = 12. position-to-term formula for the sequence.
The 10th term is 3 × 10 = 30. It is also sometimes called the formula for
the nth term.
The nth term is 3 × n = 3n.

You can use the position-to-term formula to find any term of the sequence.
For example, to find the 20th term:
3 × 20 = 60.
A sequence in which you add or subtract a fixed amount to move from one term to the next is called an arithmetic sequence.
In this arithmetic sequence the term-to-term rule is ‘add 3’.
Worked example
Look at this sequence:
4, 7, 10, 13, ...
a What is the term-to-term rule?
b Find the position-to-term formula for the sequence.
c What is the 50th term of the sequence?
d Which term of the sequence is 100?
e What type of sequence is this?
Solution
a The term-to-term rule is ‘add 3’.
b Each term is 1 more than the three times table so the position-to-term
formula is 3n + 1.
The sequence goes up in 3s, so is based on the three times table.
Look at this comparison with the previous example.
3 6 9 12 Formula 3n
+1 +1 +1 +1 +1
4 7 10 13 Formula 3n + 1
You can check this position-to-term formula works. Use n = 1, 2, 3 and
4 in the formula.
n 1 2 3 4
3n + 1 3×1+1=4 3×2+1=7 3 × 3 + 1 = 10 3 × 4 + 1 = 13
The table shows that the position-to-term formula gives the first four
terms of the sequence.
c You can find the 50th term using the formula.
nth term = 3n + 1
50th term = 3 × 50 + 1
50th term = 151
d To find which term of the sequence is 100, use the formula again.
Solve the equation to find n.
nth term = 3n + 1
100 = 3n + 1
100 – 1 = 3n
Remember
3n = 99
The difference tells you which times
n = 33 table the sequence is based on. For
The 33rd term of the sequence is 100. example, if there is a difference of
3 between each term, then 3n will

b What type of sequence are these?
Solution
a i This is the −2 times table so the position-to-term formula is −2n.
ii Each term is one more than the terms in the −2 times table.
Another way to
The position-to-term formula is −2n + 1. write this is 1 - 2n.
b In both sequences you subtract 2 to move from one term to the next.
They are both arithmetic sequences.
Activity
Read this newspaper report about Steel City. Somebody has spilt coffee on the page and some of the numbers are
unreadable.
STEEL CITY BOOM TOWN!

It’s a new year and the residents of Steel City are waking up this morning to the sound of yet more
construction work.
Work has begun on the huge SC Tower, which will become the tallest building so far in Steel City.
We have contacted the city planners. They say that there are currently 14 skyscrapers in Steel City and
there will be 44 skyscrapers in the city in five years’ time.
They have given permission for new skyscrapers EVERY YEAR!
If the city’s plans become a reality, by the end of this year there will be skyscrapers.
If construction work in Steel City continues at this rate, there will be 62 skyscrapers
in years’ time.
In ten years’ time the city will have new skyscrapers!
Can the residents of Steel City put up with this much noise? Does Steel City have enough sandwich
shops to feed all these hungry office workers? Let us know what you think.
a Can you replace the coffee marks with the correct numbers?
b What is the term-to-term rule for the sequence of the number of skyscrapers?

b Find the next two terms.

ii The position-to-term formula for the sequence is n2
b Each term in this sequence is 1 more than the square numbers.
The position-to-term formula for this sequence is n2 + 1
Worked example
Samantha lays one playing card on the table.
For her second pattern, she adds an extra row of two cards, as shown below.
This makes a triangle pattern.
For her third pattern, she adds an extra row of three cards, as shown below.
She carries on making triangular patterns by adding an extra row at the bottom.
a How many playing cards will there be in Pattern 4?
b Which pattern will contain 21 playing cards?
c Write down the number of cards in the first six patterns as a sequence.
Solution
a In Pattern 4 there will be an extra row of 4 cards.
In total there will be 10 cards.
b In Pattern 5 there will be an extra row of 5 cards, making 15 in total.
In Pattern 6 there will be an extra row of 6 cards, making 21 in total.
Pattern 6 has 21 cards.

Worked example
a What number comes next in this sequence?
100, 99, 97, 94, 90, ...
b How many positive terms are there in this sequence?
Solution
–1 –2 –3 –4
100 99 97 94 90 …
a The term-to-term rule is subtract 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...

The next term is 85.
b Continuing the sequence:
100, 99, 97, 94, 90, 85, 79, 72, 64, 55, 45, 34, 22, 9, –5, ...
There are 14 positive terms.
Worked example
a Look at this sequence:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ...
Each term in this sequence is the sum of the two numbers before it.
This sequence is called the Fibonacci sequence.
Find the next three terms.
b Other sequences can be formed in the same way.
Find the next two terms in this Fibonacci-type sequence:
4, 1, 5, 6, 11, ...
Solution
a 8 + 13 = 21
13 + 21 = 34
21 + 34 = 55
The next three terms are 21, 34, 55.
b Since this is a Fibonacci-type sequence, a term can be found be adding
the two terms before it:
6 + 11 = 17
11 + 17 = 28

Mrs Pelligrew was one of the guests at the Ambassador’s party for Very
Important People.
She had seen the Ambassador’s butler coming towards her and her group
of friends. He was carrying a tray stacked with round chocolates.
The entire stack was in the shape of a pyramid, although the top part of
the pyramid was missing.
There were five layers of chocolates on the tray, each layer in the shape of a square.
The layer at the bottom of the pyramid was a square seven chocolates long and seven chocolates wide.
Above that was a square measuring six chocolates by six chocolates, and so on.
The butler had already offered chocolates to several guests, and this is why some of the top layers of the pyramid
were missing.

⓳ The inventor of the game of chess took his invention to the king. The king loved the game so much he told the
inventor he could have anything he wished for.
‘All I want,’ said the inventor, ‘Is one grain of rice on the first square of the chess board, two grains on the second
square, four on the third, eight on the fourth and so on.’
The king thought this sounded like a fairly small reward. He knew there was a lot of rice in the royal palace stores.
Do you think the inventor got what he asked for?
You can use your calculator to help you answer this question. There are 64 squares on a chess board.
