Arithmetic sequence

1st quarter
Arithmetic sequence
Has the following characteristics:
 An ordered list of numbers
 Maybe finite or infinite

A sequence in which a constant, d, Is a function whose


is added to the previous term to get domain is the set of If it has an exact If it has an
the next term. The constant is positive integers. Each number of terms unending list of
called common difference (d) number in a sequence is terms
called a term.

The term of an arithmetic sequence with first term (), common difference (d), number
of terms (n) and the last term () given by: = + ( n – 1) d
In ½ cw, answer the following: B) Solve the given problem:
A) Find (), (d), and the 12th term 1. In the sequence 50, 45, 40, 35, …, which term is 5?
a) 3, 7, 11, 15, … b) 6, 5, 4, 3, … 2. A company offers Gian a starting yearly salary of Php
240,000 with raises of Php 20,000 per year. What will be
his salary on the 10th year?
The problem given below is an application of Arithmetic Sequence, observe it
analysis and try to answer by your own.

To solve for d
6C.In a sequence where the 7th = + ( n-1) d
term is 39 and the 15th term is 87 = 39 + ( 9 -1)d
87 = 39 + 8d --- add both sides by (-39)
87, what is the 1st term and its 48 = 8d --- divide both sides by 8
common difference? 6=d

Analysis: = 39, = 87, find: and d


We need to determine the common Now, we are ready to solve for
difference using the given. Analysis:
For the meantime, = 39 will considered as = = 39, n = 7 d =6 ; find:
39; = 87 as = 87
= + ( n-1) d
Why??? Start counting from 7 to 15 that is 9 39 = + ( 7-1) 6
Therefore, n = 9. 39 = + 36 --- add both sides by (-36), so
3=
