 Problem Solving
Steps in Solving Problem Involving Sequences:
1. Read the problem carefully
2. Identify and list the facts
3. Eliminate excess information. Pay attention to
units of
4. Devise a plan (translate).Find or Develop a formula
5. Carry out the plan (solve).
6. Look back (check and interpret).

1: A school auditorium has 17 seats on the first row, 22
seats on the second row, 27 seats on the third row,
and so on and has 20 rows of seats. How many seats
are there in the last row?
a. Is the sequence arithmetic or geometric? Explain
your answer
Ans. Arithmetic , because there is a constant number
of seats being added for each row, and that is 5 seats.
