Arithmetic
Series
An arithmetic series is simply the sum of an
arithmetic sequence.

The word series implies sum. We can transform a

given arithmetic sequence into an arithmetic series
by adding the terms of the sequence.

The partial sum is denoted by the symbol

​
.
Arithmetic Series:
= is the first term

= is the nth term of the

sequence

d = is the common
difference

n = is the number of

terms in the sum. ​

.
Let’s Solve:
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …,100}

Clearly, the first term is 1,

the last term is 100, and the
number of terms being
added is also 100.
Let’s Solve:
{2+ 4+ 6+ 8+ 10+ …}
Find the sum of the first 30th terms of the sequence.

Let’s Solve:
{7+ 12+ 17+ 22+ 27+ …}
Find the sum of the first 37th terms of the sequence.
𝑎 1=7 𝑛=3 7 𝑑=5 𝑎 𝑛=?
Arithmetic
Means
An arithmetic means are the terms in between the
first and last term of the sequence.

Ex:
{ 2, _, _, _, 10 }
Let’s Solve: { 66, _, 78}
Find the arithmetic mean of the
sequence.

Method 1: Method 2:
𝑎 𝑛=𝑎1 + ( 𝑛 −1 ) d
=
78=66+ ( 3 − 1 ) 𝑑
=
78=66+2 𝑑
= 72
78 −66=2 𝑑
{ 66, 72, 78}
1 2=2 𝑑
6=𝑑 66+6=72
Let’s Solve: { 55, _, _, _, 115}
Find the arithmetic mean of the
sequence.

Method:
𝑎 𝑛=𝑎1 + ( 𝑛 −1 ) d 2nd term:
55 + 15= 70
115=55+ (5 − 1 ) 𝑑 3rd term:
115=55+4 𝑑 70 + 15= 85

115 − 55=4 𝑑 4th term:

85 + 15= 100
6 0=4 𝑑
{55, 70, 85, 100, 115}

15=𝑑
Geometric
Series
In mathematics, a geometric series is the sum of a
geometric sequence. It is a summation of an infinite
number of terms that have a constant ratio between
successive terms.
 { 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, … }
Find the sum of the first 10 terms of the sequence.

Solving:
Let’s Solve: {10, 30, 90, 270, 810, ...}

Find the sum of the first 7th term of the Sequence using the
formula.

10 ( 1 −3 )

𝑠7 =
( 1− 3 )
10 ( 1 −2187 )
𝑠7 =
( − 2)
10 ( − 2186 )
𝑠7 =
(− 2 )
( − 21860 )
𝑠7 =
(− 2 )
𝑠 7 =10930
Geometric
Means
Geometric means are the terms in between the first
and last term of the geomtric sequence.

Ex:
{ 2, _, _, _, 32 }
Let’s Solve: { 4, _, _, _, _, 972}
Find the geometric means of the
sequence.
2nd term:
Method:
(4)(3) = 12
𝑎 𝑛=𝑎1 ( 𝑟 )
𝑛− 1

972 3rd term:

972 (12)(3) = 36
972
4th term:
(36)(3) = 108
243
5th term:
243
(108)(3) = 323

{4, 12, 36, 108, 323, 972}
Fibonacci
Sequence
Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted   , form a sequence, the Fibonacci sequence, in which
each number is the sum of the two preceding ones.

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ...

0 being Term 0 or 0th , then followed by 1 being Term 1 or the 1st term.

The Fibonacci numbers were named after the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, later
known as Fibonacci
Let’s Solve: {0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,...}

Find the 12th term of the Fibonacci sequence.

√5 144
Quadratic
Sequence
Quadratic sequences are sequences that include a term. They can be identified by the fact that
the differences between the terms are not equal, but the second differences between terms are
equal.

Quadratic sequences are ordered sets of numbers that follow a rule based on the sequence n2 =
1, 4, 9, 16, 25,… (the square numbers).

Quadratic sequences always include an term.

 Let’s Solve: { 9, 18, 31, 48, 69}

Find the formula of the quadratic sequence.

formula.
