    Look at the picture above. Can you identify the pattern exhibited
    by the social distancing markings inside the church? How far are
    those green markers away from each other?
    Arithmetic Means
    In the previous lesson, you learned how to use the general formula for
    arithmetic sequence to find the nth term. In this lesson, you will figure out
    how to find and insert finite number of terms in between two nonconsecutive
    terms.

    Arithmetic Means

    Arithmetic means are the terms between any two


    nonconsecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.

    Example:
    a. To insert one arithmetic mean between and , get the
    average of the two terms which is 1.

    Arithmetic Means

    Arithmetic means are the terms between any two


    nonconsecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.

    Example:
    b. In the sequence , 8 and 12 are two arithmetic means
    between 4 and 16.

    Group Practice: To be done in groups with four members

    During the first year of a brand-new car, it was valued at


    ₱900 000. A year after, you started saving ₱65 000 per year
    in order to purchase it. Years have passed and you were able
    to save ₱520 000. You tried to check the same model that
    you wanted to buy. However, you were informed that it
    depreciated in value by a regular amount for every year that
    has passed. Its current market value is only ₱100 496.

    Group Practice: To be done in two to five groups

    (a) How many years have passed since the release of the car
    to the market? (b) By how much did the car depreciate each
    year? (c) Suppose you already projected that the car will
    depreciate its value, in what year should you be able to
    purchase the car after its release to the market?
    Key Points Arithmetic Means

    ● Arithmetic Means
    The terms are said to be the arithmetic means between and if is an arithmetic
    sequence.

    ● Arithmetic Mean of Two Nonconsecutive


    Terms of an Arithmetic Sequence
    Solving one arithmetic mean in between two terms is as simple as getting the average of
    the two terms.
    Key Points

    ● Solving for Arithmetic Means


    To compute for the values of the arithmetic means, compute for the value of the
    common difference using the general formula for arithmetic sequence, and use the
    common difference to generate the means.
