1. What is the arithmetic mean of 15 and 31?
+8
Solution: 23 31
15, _____,
a. Use the general or the nth term of an arithmetic sequence.
 
Given:

= 15 = 31 31 = 15 + (3 – 1) (d)
31 = 15 + (2) (d)
n=3 d=? 31 = 15 + 2d
-15 + 31 = 2d
16 = 2d
8=d

2. Insert two arithmetic+4
means between 6 and 18?
+4
Solution: 6, 10
_____, 14
_____, 18
Let us apply the general term of an arithmetic sequence.
 
Given:

=6 = 18 18 = 6 + (4 – 1) (d)
18 = 6 + (3) (d)
n=4 d=? 18 = 6 + 3d
-6 + 18 = 3d
12 = 3d
4=d

Find the 3 Arithmetic means between 12 and 56.
+11 +11 +11
Solution: 34 ______,
23 _____,
12, _____, 45 56
Let us apply the general term of an arithmetic sequence.
 
Given:

= 12 = 56 56 = 12 + (5 – 1) (d)
56 = 12 + (4) (d)
n=5 d=? 56 = 12 + 4d
-12 + 56 = 4d
44 = 4d
11 = d
