I. Concept Notes
Let’s Explore!

1. Study the figures below.

Questions:

a. Do the figures show a pattern? Describe it.

b. Draw the next figure.
2. Mr. Santos is planning to buy a laptop for his incoming Grade 10 student. To prepare for this, he is
thinking of saving P 1, 700.00 every month starting next month. He has already saved P 5, 000 for this
purpose.
Questions:

a. How much will Mr. Santos has saved after 2 months? After 3 months? months? After 5 months? After 6
months? After 7 months? Summarize your answer using the table below.
Month No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Savings
b. Describe the pattern you used to fill in the table.

The set of numbers and figures in the previous activity are called sequence. Each number in a sequence is
called a term.

For example, the numbers 1, 11, 21, 31, 41, 51 is a sequence. The first term is 1, the second term is 11, the third
is 21, the fourth term is 31, the fifth term is 41 and the sixth term is 51

Each term of a sequence can be represented as follows:

Terms of a Sequence Description

a1 (read as a sub 1) represents the first term of the sequence
a2 (read as a sub 2) represents the second term of the sequence
a3 (read as a sub 3) represents the third term of the sequence
a4 (read as a sub 4) represents the fourth term of the sequence
.. .
an (read as a sub n) represents the nth term or the last term of the sequence
We need more than two terms to describe a sequence and the number of terms of a sequence is
denoted by 𝑛.
A sequence is a function whose domain is the finite set {1, 2, 3, …,n} or the infinite set {1, 2, 3, … }.
Below are examples of the two types of sequence.
 Sequence A Sequence B
10, 12, 14, 16, 18 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, …

Sequence A is a finite sequence because it has a last term, which is 18. Sequence B is an infinite
sequence because it has no last term, which means it continues infinitely.

Writing the First Few Terms of a Sequence

A sequence is usually given by stating the general rule or its n th term, hence we can find its next few
terms. Here are some examples.

Deped Mathematics– Grade 10 Alternative Delivery Mode Quarter 1 – Module 2&3: illustrating Arithmetic
Sequence, Determining Nth Means and Nth terms of Arithmetic Sequence ,First Edition, 2020

In this lesson, you are going to learn how to determine the nth term of an arithmetic sequence
I. Concept Notes
Let’s Explore!
1. Find the 7th term of the Arithmetic Sequence 1, 4, 7, 10, ...
2. What is the 10th term of the Arithmetic Sequence 7, 15, 23, 31, 39, ...?
3. Find the next two terms of the Arithmetic Sequence -2, -5, -8, -11, ...

How did you find the activity above? Did you get it all correctly? What if you are asked to determine the
100th term of an Arithmetic Sequence? Can you determine it easily? I believe your answer is no. To help you
find it easier, the 𝒏𝒕𝒉 term of an Arithmetic Sequence, an = a1 + (n-1) d , where an=𝑛𝑡ℎ term, a1 =first term, n=
number of terms d=common difference will be used.
II. LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Checking for Understanding: Do you have any problem with some of the examples? Please do not
hesitate to contact your teacher for clarification. Encircle the letter of your choice.

EXPLORE!
Find the missing term in each of the arithmetic sequence..
1. 5, ___, 15, ___ , 25 4. 49, 42, ___, 28

2. -1, -5, ___ , ____, -17 5. -1,____ , ____ , -4, -5

3. 15,____ , 27, 33

How did you find the activity above? I am pretty sure you did not find it difficult because you are already
taught in the previous lessons how the terms in an arithmetic sequence is identified through its common
difference. Am I right?

The missing terms above are what we called Arithmetic Means.

Arithmetic Means refer to the terms between any two non-consecutive terms of an
arithmetic sequence.

In solving for the arithmetic means of an arithmetic sequence given only the 1 st and last terms, the common
𝒂 𝒂𝟏
difference is d = 𝒏− , where an= last term, a1 = first term, and n = number of terms.
