Sequences (supplementary material)
Starting from number \latex{ 1 }, the neighbouring houses in a street form a sequence. The terms of a sequence can be numbers, plane figures, solids, etc.
Example 1
Connect the midpoints of an equilateral triangle and colour the resulting triangle in the middle. Repeat the same with the remaining yellow triangles in each step.
  1. In your notebook, construct the third term of the sequence.
  2. In each large triangle, determine the sum of the perimeters of the coloured triangles if the side of the large triangle is \latex{ 8 } \latex{ cm } long.
  3. What part of the area of each large triangle is coloured?
If the procedure described in the example is repeated numerous times, the result is a Sierpiński triangle. This triangle is a fractal characterised by self-similarity.

Wacław Sierpiński was a Polish mathematician. Look up when he lived. Find images of other fractals.
Solution
  1. The midpoint of a side can be determined by constructing its perpendicular bisector. Using this method, you can construct the third triangle seen in the image.
  2. In the first triangle, there is no coloured triangle, so its perimeter is \latex{ 0 }.
    In the second triangle, the side of the coloured triangle is \latex{8\div 2=4} \latex{ cm } long, so its perimeter is \latex{3\times 4=12} \latex{ cm } long. 

In the third triangle, the side of a smaller coloured triangle is \latex{4\div 2=2} \latex{ cm } long, so its perimeter is \latex{3\times 2=6} \latex{ cm } long. 
In total, the perimeter of the larger and the three smaller coloured triangles in the third image is
\latex{12+3\times 6=30\;cm} long.
 
In the fourth triangle, the side of the smallest coloured triangle is \latex{2\div 2=1} \latex{ cm } long, so its perimeter is
\latex{3\times 1=3} \latex{ cm }.
In total, the perimeter of the largest, the three smaller and the nine smallest coloured triangles in the fourth image is:
\latex{12+3\times 6+9\times 3=57} \latex{ cm }. 
The four perimeters form the following sequence: \latex{0}; \latex{12}; \latex{30}; \latex{57}; ...
  1. In the first triangle, there is no coloured triangle, so its area is \latex{ 0 }.
    The second triangle was divided into \latex{ 4 } congruent smaller triangles. One of these is coloured, meaning that the \latex{\frac{1}{4}} part of the large triangle is coloured. 
In the third triangle, connect the midpoints of the larger coloured triangle's sides, dividing the original large triangle into \latex{ 16 } small triangles. \latex{4 + 3 = 7} of these small traingles are coloured, meaning that the \latex{\frac{7}{16}} part of the large triangle is coloured.
Using the same method, the fourth triangle can be divided into \latex{ 64 } small triangles. \latex{16+3\times 4+9=47} of these small triangles are coloured, meaning that \latex{\frac{47}{64}}​ part of the large triangle is coloured.
The resulting fractions form the following sequence: \latex{0} ; \latex{\frac{1}{4}} ; \latex{\frac{7}{16}}; \latex{\frac{47}{64}}; ...
Example 2
Continue the sequence \latex{ 2; } \latex{ 5; } \latex{ 8; } \latex{ 11; } ... with five consecutive terms. Represent the sequence in a coordinate system.
Solution
It can be observed that the difference between consecutive terms is \latex{ 3 }, thus the following terms are: \latex{ 14; } \latex{ 17; } \latex{ 19; } \latex{ 22; } \latex{ 25 }. This is a list of numbers that produce a remainder of \latex{ 2 } when divided by \latex{ 3 }.
In a coordinate system, there is a corresponding point for every term of the sequence. The horizontal coordinate is the number of the term, while the vertical coordinate is the term of the sequence.
It can be observed that the points form a straight line.

The sequence could also be continued in a different way, for example:  \latex{ 2; } \latex{ 5; } \latex{ 8; } \latex{ 11; } \latex{ 8; } \latex{ 5; } \latex{ 2; } \latex{ 5; } \latex{ 8; } \latex{ 11; } ...
The continuation of a sequence is certain only if the rule of the sequence is determined.
