I. Answer only what are asked in each problem

1). Find the 6th term of the arithmetic sequence 5, 12, 19, 26, …

Solution

𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎1 + d(n – 1)

𝑎6 = 5 + 7(6 – 1)

𝑎6 = 5 + 7(5)

𝑎6 = 5 + 35

𝒂𝟔 = 40

2). Find the sum of all terms in the sequence 6, 15, 24, 33, … n=8

Solution:

Find 𝑎8

𝑎8 = 𝑎1 + d(n – 1)

𝑎8 = 6 + 9(8 – 1)

𝑎8 = 6 + 9(7)

𝑎8 = 6 + 63

𝒂𝟖 = 69

Find the sum

𝑛
𝑆𝑛 = ( 𝑎1 + 𝑎𝑛 )
2

8
𝑆8 = 2 (6 + 69)

𝑆𝑛 = 4 (75)

𝑺𝒏 = 𝟑𝟎𝟎
 3. Find the formula of the 𝑛𝑡ℎ term of the arithmetic sequence 8, 20, 32, 44, …

Given: d = 12 𝑎1 = 8

Solution

𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎1 + d(n – 1)

𝑎𝑛 = 8 + 12(n – 1)

𝑎𝑛 = 8 + 12n – 12

𝒂𝟖 = 12n – 4

4. In the arithmetic sequence 15, 30, 45, 60, … which term is 120?

Given: d = 15 𝑎1 = 15 𝑎𝑛 = 120

Solution

𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎1 + d(n – 1)

120 = 15 + 15(n – 1)

120 = 15 + 15n – 15

120 = 15n
120 15𝑛
=
15 15

n=8

5. Find the 14th term of the arithmetic sequence whose first term is 11 and whose
9th term is 99.

Given: 𝑎1 = 11 𝑎9 = 99

Solution

Find d

𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎1 + d(n – 1)

𝑎9 = 11 + d(9 – 1)

99 = 11 + d(8)

99 = 11 + 8d
 99 – 11 = 8d
88 8𝑑
=
8 8

d = 11

Find 𝑎14

𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎1 + d(n – 1)

𝑎14 = 11 + 11(14 – 1)

𝑎14 = 11 + 11(13)

𝑎14 = 11 + 143

𝒂𝟏𝟒 = 154
