Lesson details
Key learning points
- If you can spot a sequence, it is possible to predict behaviour.
- By predicting future behaviour, you can plan how to react.
- As with all predictions, it is not a guarantee.
Common misconception
If you combine two sequences of the same type the resulting sequence will still be that type.
Adding corresponding terms of two sequences will be good preparation for future units but it also a way to explore what sequences can be generated by combining other sequences.
Keywords
