GUIDED PRACTICE

4 6 8 10 12
Based from the previous activity, we
can now generate patterns, illustrate an
arithmetic sequence and determine
arithmetic means and nth term of an
arithmetic sequence.
A sequence in which a constant
(d) can be added to each term
to get the next term is called an
Arithmetic Sequence.
The constant (d) is called the
Common
Difference.
To find the common difference
(d), subtract any term from one
that follows it.
t1 t2 t3 t4 t5

2 5 8 11 14

3 3 3 3
Find the first term and the
common difference of each
arithmetic sequence.
1.) 4,9,14,19, 24
First term (a): 4
Common difference (d): a2  a1 = 9 – 4 = 5

2.) 34, 27, 20,13,6,  1,  8,....


First term (a): 34
Common difference (d): -7

BE CAREFUL: ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE


SURE THE DIFFERENCE IS THE SAME
BETWEEN EACH TERM !
Now you try!
Find the first term and the common difference
of each of these arithmetic sequences.

a) 1, -4, -9, -14, ….

b) 11, 23, 35, 47, ….


Answers with solutions

a=1 and
a) 1, -4, -9, -14, ….
d = a2 - a1 = - 4 - 1 = - 5

a = 11 and
b) 11, 23, 35, 47, ….
d = a2 - a1 = 23 - 11 = 12
The first term of an arithmetic
sequence is (a) . We add (d)
to get the next term. There is a
pattern, therefore there is a formula we
can use to give use any term that we
need without listing the whole
sequence .
3, 7, 11, 15, …. We know a = 3 and d = 4

a 1= a = 3
a2= a+d = 3+4 = 7
a3= a+d+d = a+2d = 3+2(4) = 11
a4 = a+d+d+d = a+3d = 3+3(4) = 15
The first term of an arithmetic
sequence is (a) . We add (d) to
get the next term. There is a
pattern, therefore there is a
formula (explicit formula) we can use to
give use any term that we need without
listing the whole sequence .
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given
by:
n a = a + (n – 1) d

The last # in the The position


sequence/or the # First The common
term the term is in difference
you are looking for
Find the 14th term of the
arithmetic sequence
4, 7, 10, 13,
……
an = a + (n – 1) d
a14 = 4 (14  1) 3 You are
4  (13)3 looking for
the term!
4  39
43 The 14th term in this sequence
is the number 43!
Now you try!
Find the 10th and 25th term given the following
information. Make sure to derive the general formula
first and then list what you have been provided.
a) 1, 7, 13, 19 ….

b) The first term is 3 and the common difference is -21

c) The second term is 8 and the common difference is 3


Answers with solutions
a=1 and d = a2 - a1 = 7 – 1 = 6

an=a+(n-1)d = 1 + (n-1) 6 = 1+6n-6 So an = 6n-5

a10 = 6(10) – 5 = 55
a) 1, 7, 13, 19 …. ….
a25 = 6(25)-5 = 145

b) The first term is 3 and the a=3 and d = -21


common difference is -21
an=a+(n-1)d = 3 + (n-1) -21 = 3-21n+21 So an= 24-21n
a10 = 24-21(10) = -186 a25 = 24-21(25) = -501

c) The second term is 8 a=8-3 =5 and d =3


and the common
difference is 3 an=a+(n-1)d = 5 + (n-1) 3 = 5+3n-3 So an = 3n+2
a10 = 3(10) +2 = 32 a25 = 3(25)+2 = 77
Find the 14th term of the
arithmetic sequence with first
term of 5 and the common
a = 5 and d difference
= -6 is –6.
You are looking for the
an = a + (n – 1) d term! List which variables
from the general term are

a14 = 5 (14  1) -6
provided!

= 5 + (13) * -6
= 5 + -78
= -73
The 14th term in this sequence
is the number -73!
In the arithmetic sequence
4,7,10,13,…, which term
has a value of 301?

an = a + (n – 1) d
301 4  (n  1)3 You are
301 4  3n  3 looking
301 1  3n for n!
300 3n
100 n The 100th term in this
sequence is 301!
In an arithmetic sequence, term 10 is 33 and
term 22 is –3. What are the first four terms of
the sequence?

Use what you know!

For term 10: 33= a + 9d For term 22: -3= a + 21d

HMMM! Two equations you can solve!


SOLVE: 33 = a+9d SOLVE: 33 = a + 9d

-3 = a+21d 33 = a +9(-3)

By elimination - 36 = 12d 33 = a –27

-3 = d 60 = a

The sequence is 60, 57, 54, 51, …….
