LESSON 5
ARITHMETIC
SERIES
BY: APRIL JOY MAGALONA-PALBACAL
At the end of the lesson, the
students should be able to
a) define arithmetic series,
b) find the sum of the first 𝑛 terms
of a given arithmetic sequence, and
c) solve word problems involving
arithmetic series.
What’s In
In the previous module, it was discussed that to
find the nth term of a given arithmetic
sequence, the formula

an = a1 + d (n-1)
can be used.
What’s In
For this module, we will be discussing how to find the sum of the
first n terms in an arithmetic sequence.
For example, how do we compute the sum of
all the terms of each of the following
sequences?
a) 1, 2, 3, . . . , 100
b) 5, 10, 15, 20, . . . , 50
c) −5, −2, 1, 4, . . . , 31
What’s New
To let you experience getting the sum of the terms
in a sequence manually, do the
following.

1. Find the sum of the first 20 natural numbers.


2. Find the sum of all the terms of the sequence:
5,10, 15, 20, …, 50.
3. Find the sum −5, −2 , 1, 4,…, 31.
What’s New
To derive a formula to be used in finding the sum of the terms of an
arithmetic
sequence, consider the following illustration:

The terms of an arithmetic sequence with common


difference, 𝑑, are First term
Second term + 𝑑
Third term + 2𝑑
Fourth term + 3𝑑
⋮⋮
𝑛th term + (𝑛 − 1)d
First term
Second term +𝑑
Third term + 2𝑑
Fourth term + 3𝑑
⋮⋮
𝑛th term + (𝑛 − 1)d
Thus, the sum of the terms, , is:
The terms of an arithmetic sequence can also be
written starting from the nth term and
successively subtracting the common difference,
𝑑. Hence,
What is it
In getting the sum of the terms of an arithmetic
sequence. We will be using any of the following the
formula:
What is it
Example 1. Find the sum of the first 20
natural numbers.
What is it
Example 2. Find the sum of the first 16
terms of the arithmetic sequence:
8, 11, 14, 17, 20, …
What is it
Example 3. If the first n terms of the
sequence: 9, 12, 15, 18, … are added,
how many terms give a sum of 126?
What is it
Example 4. Find the sum of the
integers between 1 and 70 that are
divisible by 3.
What is it
Example 5. The sum of the first 15
terms of an arithmetic sequence is
765. If the
first term is 23, what is the common
difference?
What’s More
A. Find the indicated partial sum of
each arithmetic series.
1. The first 9 terms of 5 + 8 + 11 + ⋯
