Arithmetic Sequence and Series

The document defines arithmetic sequences as sequences that follow a pattern of the form a1, a1 + d, a1 + 2d, a1 + 3d, etc., where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference between terms. It provides examples of arithmetic sequences and explains how to find the nth term of a sequence, the sum of the first n terms, and arithmetic means between nonconsecutive terms of a sequence. Formulas are given for determining the common difference, first term, and other terms given information about two terms.

Arithmetic Sequence

An arithmetic sequence or arithmetic progression is a sequence of the form


a1, a1 + d, a1 + 2d, a1 + 3d,… , a1 + (n – 1)d,

a1 = first term
d = common difference
n = term of the sequence
an = an-1 + d
a. 15, 27, 39, 51, 63

b. 5, 12, 19, 27, 34

c. 7 25/4, 11/2, 19/4, 4


Try This!

a. 9, 25, 41, 57, 73

b. 3.14, 2.95, 2.76, 2.57, 2.38

c. ½, ¼, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32

an = a1 + (n – 1) d
Find the 17th term of the arithmetic
sequence 4, 7, 10, 13, 16,…
a1 =4 an = a1 + ( n – 1) d
d =3 A17=4 + (17 – 1)3
n =17

=4+48
a17=52
Find the 20th term of the arithmetic
sequence 8, 15, 22, 29, 36,…
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.
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

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

an = a1 + (n – 1) d
The third term of an arithmetic sequence is 22,
and the fifteenth term is 130. Find the common
difference, the first term, and the 31st term of the
sequence.
Arithmetic Means
Arithmetic Means

The terms between any two given nonconsecutive terms of an


arithmetic sequence are called arithmetic means between the given
terms. In other words, if
a, x₁, x2, x3, … xm, b
where m≥ 1 from an arithmetic sequence, then x₁, x2, x3, … xm are
the arithmetic means between a and b.
5 8 11 14 17
Arithmetic Means
Insert three arithmetic means between 17
and 1.
17, a2, a3, a4, 1

an = a1 + (n – 1) d
1 = 17 + (5 – 1) d
1 = 17 + 4d
1 = 17 + 4d
d = -4
Insert three arithmetic means between 17
and 1.
17, a2, a3, a4, 1

a2 = 13
a3 =9
a4 =5
17, a2, a3, a4, 1
Insert five arithmetic means between 9 and
55
