Question

Match each function to its corresponding sequence.

Answer 1

The sequence and their functions are:

• f(n) = f(n - 1) + 7 ⇒ 3, 10, 17, 24, 31.....
• f(n) = f(n - 1) + 4n - 2 ⇒ 3, 9, 19, 33, 51.....
• f(n) = 2[f(n - 1)] ⇒ 3, 6, 12, 24, 48.....

How to match the functions?

To do this, we simply set values for n and calculate the function values using the current value of n.

So, we have:

Function 1: f(n) = f(n - 1) + 6n - 5 where f(1) = 3

Let n = 2

f(2) = f(1) + 6(2) - 5 = 3 + 12 - 5 = 10

Let n = 3

f(3) = f(2) + 6(3) - 5 = 10 + 18 - 5 = 23

None of the sequence follows the pattern 3, 10, 23....

Function 2: f(n) = f(n - 1) + 2n - 1 where f(1) = 3

Let n = 2

f(2) = f(1) + 2(2) - 1 = 3 + 4 - 1 = 6

Let n = 3

f(3) = f(2) + 2(3) - 1 = 6 + 6 - 1 = 11

None of the sequence follows the pattern 3, 6, 11....

Function 3: f(n) = f(n - 1) + 6 where f(1) = 3

Let n = 2

f(2) = f(1) + 6 = 3 + 6 = 9

Let n = 3

f(3) = f(2) + 6 = 9 + 6 = 15

None of the sequence follows the pattern 3, 9, 15....

Function 4: f(n) = f(n - 1) + 7 where f(1) = 3

Let n = 2

f(2) = f(1) + 7 = 3 + 7 = 10

Let n = 3, 4 and 5

f(3) = f(2) + 7 = 10 + 7 = 17

f(4) = f(3) + 7 = 17 + 7 = 24

f(5) = f(4) + 7 = 24 + 7 = 31

So, we have:

f(n) = f(n - 1) + 7 ⇒ 3, 10, 17, 24, 31.....

Function 5: f(n) = f(n - 1) + 4n - 2 where f(1) = 3

Let n = 2

f(2) = f(1) + 4(2) - 2 = 3 + 8 - 2 = 9

Let n = 3, 4 and 5

f(3) = f(2) + 4(3) - 2 = 9 + 12 - 2 = 19

f(4) = f(3) + 4(4) - 2 = 19 + 16 - 2 = 33

f(5) = f(4) + 4(5) - 2 = 33 + 20 - 2 = 51

So, we have:

f(n) = f(n - 1) + 4n - 2 ⇒ 3, 9, 19, 33, 51.....

Function 6: f(n) = 2[f(n - 1)] where f(1) = 3

Let n = 2

f(2) = 2 * f(1) = 2 * 3 = 6

Let n = 3, 4 and 5

f(3) = 2 * f(2) = 2 * 6 = 12

f(4) = 2 * f(3) = 2 * 12 = 24

f(5) = 2 * f(4) = 2 * 24 = 48

So, we have:

f(n) = 2[f(n - 1)] ⇒ 3, 6, 12, 24, 48.....
