Lesson 1: Arithmetic sequence

Learning Outcome(s): the learner will be able to:
 illustrates an arithmetic sequence,
 solve specified terms on arithmetic sequence, and
 determines arithmetic means.
Expected duration: 4 days
Lesson Outline:
 Solve arithmetic sequence.
 Identify the sum of an arithmetic sequence
 Find the arithmetic means
Pre – task:
A man is stock in a lost island and the only

way to get home is to pass through each 29
different island. But each island is guarded
by a troll wherein you have to give the
write answer to pass through.
Question is: if your island is 7 and the next

one is 10. What is the number of each
island?
Arithmetic Sequence
M a t h e m a t i c s 1 0 W e e k 2 /Quarter 1
1
Is a sequence wherein each term after the first is determined by adding a constant (d),
called the common difference?
Suppose the arithmetic sequence has terms a1, a2, a3,…, an. with d as the common
difference. From the definition, each term after a1 is determined by adding d to the previous term.
Derivation of the formula: suppose we have,
1st terma1
2nd term a2 = a1 + d
3rd term a3 = a2 + d = (a1 + d) + d = a1 + 2d
4th term a4 = a3 + d = (a1 + 2d) + d = a1 + 3d
5th term a5 = a4 + d = (a1 + 3d) + d = a1 + 4d
With this manner we have
nth term an = an – 1 + d = (a1 + (n – 2) d) + d = a1 + (n – 1) d
So
In an arithmetic sequence with first term a1 and

common difference d, the nth term an is given by the formula
an = a1 + (n – 1) d
Example: Given the arithmetic sequence 2, 4, 6, 8… determine the 15th term.
2
Solution: a1 = (first term) = 2
d = (common difference) = 2
n = (position/place of the missing term) = 15
a15 = (missing term) =?
Substitute all the given values in the formula of the arithmetic sequence.
an = a1 + (n – 1) d
a15 = 2 + (15 – 1)2 PEMDAS
a15 = 2 + (14)2
a15 = 2 + 28
a15 = 30
Then, the 15th term of the arithmetic sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, … is 30.
Example: Illustrate arithmetic sequence -4, -6, -8
-4
-6
-8
?
?
Example: Solve for the 25th term in the given arithmetic sequence -4, -6, -8…
3
Solution:
Given:
a1 = (first term) = -4
d = (common difference) = -2
n = (position/place of the missing term) = 25
a25 = (missing term) =?
Substitute all the given values in the formula of the arithmetic sequence.
an = a1 + (n – 1) d
a25 = -4 + (25 – 1) (-2)
a25 = -4 + (24) (-2)
a25 = -4 + -48
a25 = -52
Then, the 25th term of the arithmetic sequence -4, -6, -8, … is -52.
Arithmetic Means
It is characterized as the term/s between any two non-consecutive terms of an arithmetic

sequence.
Given two numbers b and c, and a whole number k, we can insert k numbers a 1, a2, … ak
between b and c such that
b, a1, a2, … ak, c
forms an arithmetic sequence. The numbers a1, a2, … ak are called k arithmetic means of b and c.
Example: Insert three arithmetic means between 4 and 12.
4
Solution:
Assume that the first number is the first term otherwise stated.
a1 = 4
a2 =?
Three arithmetic means bet. 4 and 12

a3 =?
a4 =?
a5 = 12 We use 12 as an
n=5
Substitute the givens in the formula of arithmetic sequence.
an = a1 + (n – 1) d
12 = 4 + (5 – 1) d
12 = 4 + (4) d
12 – 4 = 4d

2=d
Since the common difference is identified we can now solve for a2, a3, a4
Solution for a2:
a2 = a1 + d
=4+2
a2 = 6
5
Solution for a3:
a3 = a2 + d
=4+2
a3 = 8
Solution for a4:
a4 = a3 + d
=8+2
a4 = 10
Therefore, the arithmetic sequence is 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12
Example: Insert three arithmetic means between 7 and -5.
Solution:
Assume that the first number is the first term otherwise stated.
a1 = 7
a2 =?
Three arithmetic means bet. 7 and -5

a3 =?
a4 =?
a5 = -5 We use -5 as an
n=5
Substitute the givens in the formula of arithmetic sequence.
an = a1 + (n – 1) d

-5 = 7 + (5 – 1) d
-5 = 7 + (4) d
-5 – 7 = 4d

-3 = d
Since the common difference is identified we can now solve for a2, a3, a4
Solution for a2:
a2 = a1 + d
=7-3
a2 = 4
Solution for a3:
a3 = a2 + d
=4-3
a3 = 1
Solution for a4:
a4 = a3 + d
=1-3
a4 = -2
Therefore, the arithmetic sequence is 7, 4, 1, -2, and -5
