term of an arithmetic sequence


The formula in finding the nth term of
an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1 + (n - 1) d
First term Number Common
nth Term of terms Difference
(all positive
integers 1,
2, 3, ...)
Example #1
Using the formula, let us now
confirm the 8 term of the
th

arithmetic sequence 3, 8, 13,


18, … is really 38.
To solve 8th term of the sequence 3, 8, 13, 18, ... , we must first
find the unknowns which are the a1 (first term),n (number of
terms) and d (common difference).
a1 = 3, n = 8, d = 5
Using substitution:
an = a1 + (n - 1) d
a8 = 3 + (8 - 1) 5
a8 = 3 + (7)5
a8 = 3 + 35
a8 = 38

Finding the position of term in
a sequence without the terms
between them is quite
difficult. Thus, we need to use
the formula an = a1 + (n - 1)

to save time.

check if 123 and 198 is

What is the 8th 20th and 100th term of the
sequence 3, 8, 13, …?

Answer:
The 8 term is 38.
th

The 20th term is 98.


And the 100th term is 498.
What if we will find the 100 term
th

but the given is only the 8 term


th

which is 38 and 20 term which is


th

98? Is it possible to find the 100 th

term by just using two non-


consecutive terms such as a8 and
a20?
In this lesson, you are expected

1. find the 𝑛𝑡ℎ term or unknown


to

term of an arithmetic sequence


given two non-consecutive terms.
To find the 100 term, we will
th

use the formula an = a1 + (n –


1)d. Using the formula, we will
need 3 unknowns. The first
term (a1), number of terms (n)
and common difference.
Since the problem is find the
100 term given a8 = 38 and
th

a20 = 98, we have at least the


value of n which is 100. We
will still need to find a1 and d.
In order to find d, let
us use the formula
d=
If the terms are non-consecutive
Since a8 = 38 and a20 =
98
d=
d=
d=5
Since we already have n and d, we can
now solve for a1.
Using a8 = 38, n = 8, and d = 5,
an = a1 + (n - 1) d
38 = a1 + (8 – 1)5
38 = a1 + 7(5)
38 = a1 + 35
38 – 35 = a1
Finally, we will now solve for a100
Using a1 = 3, n = 100, and d = 5,
an = a1 + (n - 1)d
a100 = 3 + (100 – 1)5
a100 = 3 + (99)5
a100 = 3 + 495
a100 = 498

just getting the average between two
numbers.
