The previous lesson focused on identifying the arithmetic sequence and
finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence. Here is a short activity
from the previous lesson.
What’s New
A school auditorium has 270 seats.
The table below shows the number of seats in some of the rows.
row 1st 2nd 5th 9th
number of seats 10 15 30 50
Here is the graph of the sequence shown in the table.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 row
➢ What are the number of seats between 2nd and 5th rows?
➢ Give the number of seats between 5th and 9th rows
➢ Is the given sequence an Arithmetic?
What Is It
5th row 6th row 7th row 8th row 9th row
30 seats 35 seats 40 seats 45 seats 50 seats
The given sequence above is an arithmetic and the terms 35, 40, and
45 are the arithmetic means between 30 and 50.
Example 1
Find the four arithmetic means between 7 and 32.
7, ___, ___, ___, ___, 32
a1 = 7 a6 = 32
Use an = a1 + ( n – 1) d
a6 = 7 + ( 6 – 1) d
32 = 7 + 5d
32 – 7 = 5d
25 = 5d
25 5𝑑

The four arithmetic means are 12, 17, 22, and 27.

Example 3
What is the arithmetic mean between 6 and – 8 ?
6 , ___ , - 8

Example 4
What are the two arithmetic means between 6x + 2 and 9x – 7 ?
6x + 2, ______, ______, 9x – 7
a1 = 6x + 2 a4 = 9x -7
Solve for d
an = a1 + ( n – 1) d The two arithmetic means
a4 = 6x + 2 + (4-1) d are 7x – 1 and 8x – 4.
9x – 7 = 6x + 2 + 3d
9x – 7 – ( 6x + 2 ) = 3d
9x – 7 – 6x – 2 = 3d
9x – 6x – 7 – 2 = 3d
3x – 9 = 3d

Example 5
Insert three arithmetic means between 5√3 and 13√3
5√3 + 1 ____ , ____ , ____ , 13√3 + 17
Solve for d
an = a1 + ( n – 1) d
a5 = 5√3 + 1 + + (5-1) d
13√3 + 17 = 5√3 + 1 + 4d
13√3 + 17 - ( 5√3 + 1) = 4d
13√3 + 17 - 5√3 - 1 = 4d

Mark, an OFW was asked to return to his country and stopped
working because of the pandemic. To support his family’s daily
needs he thought of selling “biko” online. On the 1st
day, he sold six tubs of biko. On the 2nd day, 11 tubs were sold.
Because of the good feedback from costumers, the number of orders
increased. On the 10th day he sold 51 tubs.
7 (22)
S7 =
2
22 is the sum of the first term and the last term
How many tubs of biko were sold during the first ten days of
Mark’s online busines? a1 = 6, a10 = 51, n = 10
𝑛
S10 = (a1 + an)
2
10
= (6 + 51) There were 285 tubs
2
= 5 ( 57) sold in 10 days.
S10 = 285
Example 2
Find the sum of an arithmetic sequence with 20 terms
if the first term is 5 and the last term is 62.
Given: a1 = 5 ; an = 62 ; n = 20
𝑛

20
S20 = 2 (5 + 62)
= 10 (67)
S20 = 𝟔𝟕𝟎
The sum of the first 20 terms is 670.

How do Arithmetic Series apply to Facebook Friend Requests?
The table below shows the number of friend requests Rene received everyday.
day 1 2 3 4 5 … 30
number of friend requests 1 3 5 7 9 ?
To find the sum of the number of friend requests for the first 5 days,
we should add 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9
➢ How about finding the total number of the friend requests for the first 30
days?
➢ Do you know of any shorter method to solve the problem?
What Is It
If the last term of an arithmetic sequence is not given, here is another
formula to use in finding the sum of a finite arithmetic series.
𝑛
Using 𝑆𝑛 = 2 (𝑎1 + 𝑎𝑛 )
But 𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎1 + (𝑛 − 1)𝑑, therefore
𝑛
𝑆𝑛 = (𝑎1 + 𝑎𝑛 )
2
𝑛
𝑆𝑛 = [𝑎 + {𝑎1 + (𝑛 − 1)𝑑}]
2 1
𝑛
𝑆𝑛 = [𝑎 + 𝑎1 + (𝑛 − 1)𝑑]
2 1
𝑛
𝑆𝑛 = [2𝑎1 + (𝑛 − 1)𝑑]
2
We have
where:
𝑆𝑛 = 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑛 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑠
𝑛 = 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑠
𝑎1 = 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚
𝑑 = 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑛 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒
Example 1
Find the sum of the first 40 terms of the arithmetic
sequence 2,5,8,11, …
Given: a1 = 2; d = 3 ; n = 40
𝑛
Sn = 2
[ 2a1 + ( n-1 ) d]
40
S40 = 2
[ 2 (2) + (40 – 1)3]
= 20 [ 4 + 39 ( 3) ]
= 20 (121)
S40 = 2420
𝒏
Use Sn = [ 2a1 + ( n-1 ) d] to solve for n
𝟐
Substitute: Sn = 366 a1 = 3 d=5
𝒏
Sn = [ 2a1 + ( n-1 ) d]
𝟐
𝒏
366 = [ 2(3) + ( n-1 ) 5 ]
𝟐
𝒏
366 = [ 6 + 5n - 5 ]
𝟐
𝒏
366 = [ 5n + 1 ]
𝟐
𝒏
( 2 ) 366 = [ 5n + 1 ] ( 2 ) multiply both sides by 2
𝟐
𝒏
( 2 ) 366 = [ 5n + 1 ] ( 2 )
𝟐
732 = 5n2 + n
( 5n + 61 ) ( n – 12 ) = 0 factor 5n2 + n – 73
5n + 61 = 0 n – 12 = 0
5n = - 61 n = 12
