REVIEW
• Saulog Transit Inc. is one of the many bus
transportation companies in the Philippines
servicing routes between Cavite and Metro
Manila, Olongapo or Baguio City.
• One day, on its way back to its terminal at
Mendez, via Aguinaldo Highway, one (1)
passenger went down at SM City Bacoor, then,
another four (4) passengers went down to
Robinson’s Place Imus, seven (7) passengers went
down to Robinson’s Place Pala-pala and ten (10)
passengers went down to Lourdes Church at
Tagaytay.
 Questions
• List down the number of passengers who
went down in each place.
• Does it form sequence? If it does, how is the
sequence formed?
Arithmetic Sequence
• Illustrative Example 1:
• Using the generated sequence from the previous scenario: 
• Arithmetic Sequence
• Subtracting two consecutive terms (i.e.: d=a2-a1)
•  
•  
•
4-1 7-4 10-7
=3 =3 =3
• Common difference (d)
• The above activity illustrates a sequence where
the difference between any two consecutive
terms is a constant. This constant is called the
common difference and the said sequence is
called an arithmetic sequence.
• An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where
every term after the first is obtained by adding a
constant called the common difference.
• The sequences 1, 4, 7, 10, ... and 15, 11, 7,
3, ... are examples of arithmetic sequences since
each one has a common difference of 3 and 4,
 respectively.
• The sequence generated from the given
scenario which is 1, 4, 7, 10 is an example
of an Arithmetic Sequence because it is
formed by adding a constant number
which is 3 to the preceding term to
obtain the next. The constant number 3
is the common difference, denoted as d,
which can be obtained by subtracting
two consecutive terms (d = an – an-1).
 “How well do you know me?”

sequence? Why?
1. 3, 7, 11, 15, 19

 Application

Answer the following problem.

A merchandiser in Alfa Mart was tasked to stack 22
cans of Evaporated milk with 10 cans at the bottom
of the stack. The illustration is shown at the right.
1. Write the number of cans per layer on the space
provided below.
__, __, __, __, __, __, __, __, __, __
2. Does the number of cans in each layer of the stack
show an arithmetic sequence? Explain your answer.
3. If it shows an arithmetic sequence, then what is
the common difference?
• How is an Arithmetic Sequence formed?
• How can the common difference in an
arithmetic sequence be obtained?
Determine whether the given sequence is
arithmetic sequence or not. Draw a if the
sequence is an arithmetic sequence and a if
NOT. If the sequence is an arithmetic sequence,
find the common difference.
