What is a SEQUENCE?
•Set of numbers that contain
pattern.
•A sequence is a function
whose domain is the finite
set {1, 2, 3,…, n} or the
infinite set {1, 2, 3,… }.
❑ Finite- may katapusan, kayang
bilangin
✓ {1, 2, 3,…, n}
✓ A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}

❑ Infinite- walang katapusan, hindi

kayang bilangin.
✓{1, 2, 3,… }
✓W = {0, 1, 2, 3, ……..}
 Arithmetic Sequence

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where every term after the first

is obtained by adding a constant called the common difference.

EXAMPLES:
•1, 4, 7, 10, ......
•15, 11, 7, 3, ........
A. 9, 11, 13, ___, 17

B. 10, 7, 4, 3, _____?

C. 2, 8, 14, ______?
 Common Difference

➢ The value added each time is called

the "common difference"

What is the common difference in this example?

19, 27, 35, 43, …..
 Common Difference

➢ It could be negative
1)Find the 12th term: {5, 8, 11, .....}

2)Find the 11th term {5, 9, 13, ......}

3)Find the 10th term {5, 10, 15, ......}

Formula for finding the nth term:
 Short Activity
1. What is the 25th term in this sequence 2, 6,
10, 14, …. ?
2. If the 22nd term in an arithmetic sequence is
150 and the common difference is 7, what is
the 12th term?
3. What is the first term in an arithmetic
sequence if the common difference is 6 and
the 6th term is 35?
What is the 25 term in this
th

sequence 2, 6, 10, 14, …. ?

If the
22nd term in an arithmetic sequence
is 150 and the common difference is 7,
what is the 12th term?
 What is the first term in an arithmetic
sequence if the common difference is 6
and the 6th term is 35?
 SHORT QUIZ
1. Find the 724th term in the sequence 3, 7, 11, 15, 19,
……
2. What is the first term in the sequence if the 5th term
is 14 and the common difference is 3?
3. What is the position of 25 in the sequence 1, 4, 7,
10, …. With the common difference of 3.
4. Find the 21st term in the sequence 3, 9, 15, 21, …
with the common difference of 6.
 Arithmetic Means

➢ The terms between any two

nonconsecutive terms of an
arithmetic sequence are known as
arithmetic means.
Example: Insert 4 arithmetic means
between 5 and 25.

5, __, __, __, ___, 25

 Geometric Sequence

✓ is made by multiplying by the same value

each time.
✓ is a sequence where each term after the
first is obtained by multiplying the
preceding term by a nonzero constant
called the common ratio.
Geometric Sequence
 Geometric Sequence

1. 32, 16, 8, ____, 2

2. 5, 20, 80, 320, _____
3. 3, 12, 48, ______
4. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, _____
5. 18, 54, ____, 486
 COMMON RATIO
•What we multiply by each time is
called the "common ratio".
 FIBONACCI NUMBERS
• is found by adding the two numbers before it
together.

• is a sequence where its first two terms are either

both 1, or 0 and 1; and each term, thereafter, is
obtained by adding the two preceding terms.
