sequence

Application

(Board work)

Solve the nth term of the following arithmetic sequence using the formula

Given: 3,7,11... Find: 15th term

Given: 30,28,26,24... Find: 8th term

Given: -5, -10, -15.. Find: 6th term

Given: 1.5, 5, 9.5 ... Find: 10th term

Given: -9, -7, -5 .. Find: 5th term

IV. EVALUATION

Solve the following using the arithmetic sequence formula. 5 points each

Given: -4,4,12,... find: 7th term

Given: -6,3,0,-3,-6,.. find: 9th term

Given: 1/2,7/2,13/2,19/2,.. find: 11th term

Given: 1st term= 8 , d= 2.5, find: 4th term

Given: 1st term= 11 , d= 7, find: 5th term

V. ASSIGNMENT

Use the formula of an arithmetic sequence an=a1+(n-1)d to answer the following questions. Write it in a
1/2 sheet of paper.

1. Find the common difference of the arithmetic sequence with a1=2 and a10=72 ?
2. How many terms has an arithmetic sequence whose a1= -3, d=2 and an=23?
