Maths help needed

[boxfire1995]

i have a huge problem. i was going through the pp and saw the topic about patterns. my teachers are saying that it hardly comes so no need to prepare. i dont really believe them. but i need someone to help me with that topic and also the percentage topic. please, can someone here explain that topic to me? i will be grateful.

Patterns do come. And I think they are the trickiest.
The whole thing isn't possible, could you tell me where exactly do you find problems in those topics?

 

[boxfire1995]

im actually finding it difficult to find the nth term of a pattern. i wanted to know how to derive it and is there a formula for it?

AoA!
Check this thread: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=4147. It will definitely help you. Number sequences are included in the O'level syllabus.

patterns may be difficult ...... like i was stuck in may Olevels paper 2011 but thank God i did it in the last minutes.. practise them

Yes, practice them real good. I messed in my IG's. We had to find the value of n using simultaneous equations.

This mostly comes in Paper 1 and has less marks !! just solve all the questions in Past papers and u'll be ok !!

Sequences are integral part of the Mathematics syllabus, with several section B questions in the past.
