Thank you ___________.

Arithmetic sequence or arithmetic progression is a

sequence of the form a 1, a 1 + 2d, a 1 +3d …. a 1 + ( n
－ 1 ) d, where a 1, is the first term, d is the common
difference, and the nth term of the sequence is given
by a 1 + ( n － 1 ) d. Recursively, we can define an
arithmetic sequence by a n = a n− 1 + d given the first
term a 1.

To illustrate

This type of sequence where every term after the first

is obtained by adding a constant called the common
difference is know as an arithmetic sequence.

In the example above, the common difference is 1.

How?
Because the succeeding term is determined by adding
 one from the previous term.
In general, the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence
with a 1 as the first term and d as the common
difference are
a 1, a 1 + 2d, a 1 +3d …. a 1 + ( n － 1 ) d

If a 1 and d are known, it is easy to find any term in an

arithmetic sequence by using the formula
a1 + ( n － 1 ) d

Let’s try these examples:

Find the 45th term of the arithmetic sequence whose
first term is 35 with a common difference of 9.

First, we need to write the formula. Second, the given

and lastly is the solution in the form of this to find
what we are looking for.
Formula:
a n=a1 +(n+1)d
Given:
a 1 = 35
d=9
n = 45
a 45 = ?
Solution:
a n=a1 +(n −1)d
a 45 =35+(45 −1)9
a 45 =35+(44) 9
a 45 = 35 + 396
a 45= 431
What is the 100th term of the sequence 5, 10, 15, 20,
25, …?
Formula:
a n=a1 +(n+1)d
Given:
a1 = 5
d=5
n = 100
a 100 = ?
Solution:
a n=a1 +(n −1)d
a 100=5+(100 −1)5
a 100=5+(99)5
 a 100 = 5+ 495
a 100= 500 None sir.
Do you have any questions?
None sir
Clarifications?

Who wants to try on the board?

What is the 50th term of the sequence 1, 19, 37, 55, Formula:
73, …? a n=a1 +(n+1)d
Given:
a1 = 1
d = 18
n = 50
a 50 = ?
Solution:
a n=a1 +(n −1)d
a 50=1+(50 −1)18
a 50=1+( 49)18
a 50 = 1+ 882
a 50= 883

Let’s try different examples:

What is the 1st term of an arithmetic sequence with
common difference of 43 and its seventh term is
949?
Formula:
a n=a1 +(n −1)d
Given:
a1 = ?
d = 43
n=7
a 7 = 949
Solution:
 a n=a1 +(n −1)d
949=a1 +( 7 −1) 43
949=a1 +(6)43
949=a1 +¿ 258
a 1 = 949 − 258
a 1 = 691

Find the common difference of an arithmetic

sequence with first term value of 11 and the sixth
term is 56.
Formula:
a n=a1 +(n −1)d
Given:
a 1 = 11
d=?
n=6
a 6 = 56
Solution:
a n=a1 +(n −1)d
56=a1 +( 6 −1)d
56=a1 +( 5)d
56=11+ ¿ 5d
5d = 56 − 11
5d = 45
5d 45

d=9

In the sequence 7, 20, 33, 46, …, which term is 306?

Formula:
a n=a1 +(n −1)d
Given:
a1 = 7
d = 13
a n= 306
n=?
Solution:
a n=a1 +(n −1)d
306=7+( n −1)13
 306=7+13 n −13
−13 n = 7 − 13 −306
−13 n −312
= −
−13 −13
n = 24

The fourth term of an arithmetic sequence is 27, and

the eleventh term is 69. Find the common difference,
the first term, and the 25th term of the sequence.

We know that a 4 = 27 and a 11 = 69. Thus, we have to

add the common difference d to 27 7 times ( 7 = 11 -
4) to obtain the 11th term. This means that a 11 = a 4 +
7d. Solving for d
a 11 = a 4 + 7d
69 = 27 + 7d
7d = 69 - 27
7d = 42
7 d 42
=
7 7
d=6
Therefore, the common difference is 6 .
We then subtract d = 6 three times to a 4 = 27 to
obtain a 1. Thus we get,
a 1 = 27 - 3(6)
a 1 = 27 - 18
a 1= 9
Solving the 25 term, we get
th

a 25 =a1 +(25− 1) d
a 25 =9+(24)6
a 25 =9+¿ 144
a 25 = 153

Real-life examples:
Jessica started going to school in 2009 having
P5,000 annual allowance and received an increment
of 600 each year. In which year did her annual
allowance reach P9,800.
Formula:
a n=a1 +(n −1)d
Given:
a 1 = 5,000
d = 600
a n= 9,800
n=?
Solution:
 a n=a1 +(n −1)d
9,800=5000+(n− 1) 600
9,800=5,000+600 n −600
−600 n =5,000 − 600 - 9,800

P15 the day after. If the pattern continues, how much
will Anna save on the 10th day? n = 10
Solution:

a 10=5+(10 −1)5
a 10=5+( 9)5
a 10 = 5+ 45
a 10= 50
