I. Discuss what a Harmonic Sequence is.

- Harmonic sequence is a sequence such that the reciprocals of the terms
form an arithmetic sequence.

Harmonic Sequence ½, ¼, 1/6, 1/8

Arithmetic Sequence 2, 4, 6, 8

II. . Let the student determine whether the given sequence is harmonic or not.

1.) 2/2, 2/4, 2/6, 2/8 2.) ½, ¼, 1/6, 1/8

3.) 3/6, 4/12, 5/20, 6/30

III. Guide the student in solving problems involving the harmonic sequence.
Introduce the formula of arithmetic sequence.
An = a1 (n-1)d.

1. What is the 11th term of the harmonic sequence

1/6, 1/12, 1/18…?

2. What is the 8th term of the Harmonic sequence

1/3, 1/7, 1/11, 1/15...?

D. Application

(Group Activity)

Find the missing term.

1. Find the 6th term of the harmonic sequence

1/5, 1/10, 1/15…?

2. Find the 5th term of the harmonic sequence

¼, 1/8, 1/12…?
 E. Generalization

Ask the students the following questions.

1. How to determine whether the given sequence is harmonic or not?

2. How to find the other terms of a harmonic sequence?

IV. Evaluation

Write H if the sequence is harmonic, and N if

not.

____1. 1/8, 1/12, 1/16, 1/20.

____2. 1/3, 1/9, 1/27.

____3. 1/6, 1/12, 1/18, 1/24.

____4. ¼, 1/12, 1/36, 1/108.

V. Assignment

Solve the missing term.

1. What is the 7th term of the harmonic sequence

2, 4/3, 1, 4/5…?

2. What is the 9th term of the harmonic sequence

1/5, 1/7, 1/9, 1/11…?
