The sequence of e-mails sent by Ellen over the days is: 1 (Wednesday), 1 (Thursday), 2 (Friday), and 3 (Saturday).
If we look at the number of e-mails sent each day, we have the following numbers:
- Wednesday: 1
- Thursday: 1
- Friday: 2
- Saturday: 3
We can represent the sequence as: 1, 1, 2, 3.
To analyze the pattern in the sequence:
- From Wednesday to Thursday, the count stays the same (1 to 1).
- From Thursday to Friday, the count increases by 1 (1 to 2).
- From Friday to Saturday, the count increases by 1 again (2 to 3).
The sequence modifies the initial fixed count on Wednesday and Thursday, and then begins to follow a pattern of increasing by 1 each day after that.
This can be seen as a partially defined sequence where the initial values are constant, and then it takes on a linear growth pattern. Beyond that, the numbers follow a type of Fibonacci-like growth, where each number is the sum of the two previous ones after a certain point.
Overall, this sequence can be categorized as a simple arithmetic and Fibonacci-related sequence.
