Arithmetic Sequence

General Direction: Answer the following problem. Show your complete solution.

1. Determine whether the given sequence is arithmetic or not. If it is arithmetic, find the common
difference and the next two terms.
a. -20, -13, 1, 8, … b. 25, 33, 41, 49, 56, …

2. Find an for each arithmetic sequence.

a. a1 = 10, d = 4, n = 15 b. a1 = 11, d = 4, n = 17

3. Find the sum of the terms of each arithmetic sequences.

a. 12, 24, 36, 48, . . . a10 b. 5, 5.07, 5.14, . . ., a20

4. Find the sum of the first ten terms of each arithmetic sequence.
a. a1 = 10 and a4 = 31 b. a2 = 34 and a10 = 50

5. Transform the following into expanded notation and simplify.

80 8
1
a. ∑ (3 n+1) b. ∑ ( i+3)
2
4 4
6. Use the summation notation to represent each sum. Use i as the index of summation and begin with
i=1

1 + 4 + 7 + 10 + 13 + 16 + 19 + . . .

7. Answer each problem.

a. Insert three arithmetic means between 48 and 84.

b. Given the sequence a + b, 2a – b, 3a – 3b, __________, _________, ________, _________, 8a – 13b,

insert four arithmetic means.

8. Answer the following problems.

A sarisari store owner sells P1,000 worth of products during its first week. The owner of the sarisari
store has set a goal of increasing his weekly sales by P500 each week for 10 weeks. If we assume
