Show derivation of formula for first term (a 1 ¿ , number of terms (n), and common
difference (d) from the general formula a n=a1 + ( n−1 ) d .

 If a 1 is unknown:
a n=a1 + ( n−1 ) d
a n−{ ( n−1 ) d }=a1 + ( n−1 ) d−{ ( n−1 ) d }
a 1=an −( n−1 ) d

Developing mastery
Find the indicated part of each arithmetic sequence.
1. Find the common difference if the first term is 6 and the twentieth term is
82.
2. Find the common difference if the first term is -8 and the ninth term is -64.
3. If the common difference is -2 and the seventh term is 14, then what is the
first term?
4. If the common difference is 5 and the twelfth term is -7, then what is the
 first term?
5. Find the sixth term of the sequence that has a fifth term of 13 and a
second term of 1.
