MANINGDING PALMERA
WELCOME!!
HERE ARE THE FOLLOWING
PROBLEMS FOR ARITHMETIC
SEQUENCE.
 WHAT SHOULD BE THE VALUE OF
X SO THAT 2x-1, x+6, 4x-3, WILL
FORM AN ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE?


(x+6)-(2x-1)= (4x-3)-(x+6)
x+6- 2x+1= 4x- 3-x-6
-x+7= 3x-9
-4x= -16
x= 4

SOLUTION X= 4
a1= 2x-1 a3= 4x-3
a1= 2(4)-1 a3= 4(4)-3
a1= 8-1 a3= 16-3
a1= 7 a3=13

a2= x+6 d= a2-a1

a2= 4+6 d= 10-7
a2= 10 d= 3

COMMON DIFFERENCE 3
FIND THE VALUE OF
X WHEN THE
ARITHMETIC MEAN
OF X+2 AND 4X+5
IS 3X+2.
S O L U T I O N :

(x+2)(4x+5)= 2(3x+2)
5x+7= 6x+4
5x-6x= 4-7
-x=-3
x =
3
x+2= 3+2= 5
3x+2= 3(3)+2= 11
4x+5= 4(3)+5= 17

COMMON
DIFFERENCE

SEQUENCE 6
FIND THE SUM OF THE
FIRST 12 TERMS OF THE
ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE
WHOSE GENERAL TERM
IS AN =3N+5.
GIVEN:

n= 12
an= 3n+5 FORMULA:
d= ?
a1= ?
a2=?

 n=2
FOR a1: an= 3n+5

a2= 3(2)+5 FOR a3:

a2= 6+5
n=1 a2= 11 n=3
an= 3n+5

an= 3n+5
a1= 3(1)+5

a3= 3(3)+5
a1= 8 FOR a2: a3= 9+5

a3= 14

 d= a2-a1
COMMON d= 11-8
DIFFERENCE d= 3

d= a3-a2
d= 14-11
d= 3 d=3
 SUM OF
THE FIRST
12 TERMS
