BSED – 1A (FILIPINO)

I. Answer only what are asked in each problem.

1. Find the 10th term of the arithmetic sequence 4, 12, 20, 28, …

Solution:

a n = a 1 + d(n – 1)

a 10 = 4 + 8(10 – 1)

a 10 = 4 + 8(9)

a 10 = 4 + 72

a 10 = 76

2. Find the sum of all terms in the sequence 5, 10, 15, 20, … n = 16

Solution:

Find a 16

a n = a 1 + d(n – 1)

a 16 = 5 + 5(16 – 1)

a 16 = 5 + 5(15)

a 16 = 5 + 75

a 16 = 80

Find the sum

n
Sn = ( a 1+ a n )
2

16
S16 = (5 + 80)
2

S16 = 8 (85)
 S16 = 680

3. Find the formula of the nth term of the arithmetic sequence 11, 22, 33, 44 …

Given: d = 11 a 1=¿ 11

Solution:

a n = a 1 + d(n – 1)

a n = 11 + 11(n – 1)

a n = 11 + 11n – 11

a n = 11n

4. In the arithmetic sequence 7, 14, 21, 28 … which term is 105?

Given: d = 7 a 1=¿ 7 a n=¿ 105

Solution

a n = a 1 + d(n – 1)

105 = 7 + 7(n – 1)

105 = 7 + 7n – 7

105 = 7n

10 5 7 n
=
7 7

n = 15

5. Find the 18th term of the arithmetic sequence whose first term is 12 and whose 6th term
is 72.

Given: a 1=¿ 12 a 6=¿ 72

Solution

Find d

a n = a 1 + d(n – 1)

a 6 = 12 + d(6 – 1)
 72 = 12 + d(5)

72 = 12 + 5d

72 – 12 = 5d

60 5d
=
5 5

d = 12

Find a 18

a n = a 1 + d(n – 1)

a 18 = 12 + 12(18 – 1)

a 18 = 12 + 12(17)

a 18 = 12 + 204

a 18 = 216
