What is a sequence
• What is a sequence? It is a set of numbers
which are written in some particular order. For
example, take the numbers
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, . . . .
Arithmetic Sequence/Progression
• an = a1 + (n − 1)d
Replace all of the “n”
• a12 = a1 + (12 − 1)d with the given which is
12
Final answer is 42
• a12 = 42
a1=10 d= 7 n= 10
• an = a1 + (n − 1)d
• a10 = a1 + (10 − 1)d
• a10 = 10 + (9)7
• a10 = 10 + 63
• a10= 73
• 1, -4, -9 …….(15th term)
• n =?
• a1 = ?
• d=?
• n =15
• a1 = 1
• d = -5
a1=1 d= -5 n= 15
• an = a1 + (n − 1)d
• a15 = a1 + (15 − 1)d
• a15= 1 + (14)-5
• a15 = 1 + (-70)
• a15= -69
