An arithmetic sequence
is a sequence where each ,□,,,□,,,,□,,,,
succeeding term is
obtained by adding a fixed
number. The fixed
,
number is called the ___
common difference which
is denoted as d. To find 3. What is the next number?
the next terms in an
arithmetic sequence, we 5, 15, 25, 35, ___
use the formula:
an = a1 + (n – 1)d 4. What is the next number?

Discuss the mathematics concepts and the formula used.
Illustrative Example 3
In the arithmetic
sequence: 7, 10, 13,
16, . . .; find n if an = 304. 2. What new realizations do you have about finding the nth
term of the arithmetic sequence and finding the arithmetic

Finding the Sum of the
First n Terms of an
Arithmetic Sequence.
To let you experience
getting the sum of the
terms in sequence
manually, do the
following.
1. Find the sum of the first
20 natural numbers.
Solution:
a. By listing all the natural
numbers from 1 to 20 and
adding them, we have:
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+
8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13
+ 14 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18
+ 19 + 20 = 210
b. Thus, the sum of the
first 20 natural numbers is
210.
In getting the sum of the
terms of an arithmetic
sequence. We will be
using any of the following
