GOOD

MORNING! 
Dear God, send Your Holy Spirit
upon us to be our helper and our
guide. Give us the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the
spirit of right judgement and
courage, the spirit of knowledge
and reverence. Fill us with the
spirit of wonder and awe in your
presence. We pray to the Lord.
Amen.

 Finding the
nth Term in a
Sequence
If a1 and d are known, it is
easy to find any term in
arithmetic sequence using
the rule:
an = a1 + (n - 1)d
 ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE

an = a1+(n-1)d
an = nth term
a1 = first term
d = common difference
 Determine the 10th term in the sequence
4,6,8,10,…

What to do? 4, 6, 8, 10, …

• Use the formula:
n = 10
an = a1+(n-1)d
Since we are looking for
• Look for the values of the 10th term
n, a1, and d
 Determine the 10th term in the sequence
4,6,8,10,…

What to do? 4, 6, 8, 10, …

• Use the formula:
an = a1+(n-1)d a1 = 4
Since it is the first term
• Look for the values of (element) of the sequence
n, a1, and d
 Determine the 10th term in the sequence
4,6,8,10,…

What to do? 4, 6, 8, 10, …

• Use the formula: +2 +2 +2
an = a1+(n-1)d d=2
• Look for the values of Since it is the common
n, a1, and d difference of the sequence
 an = a1 + (10-1)d
Determine the a10 = 4 + (10-1)2
10 term in the
th

sequence 4,6,8,10, a10 = 4 + (9)2

…
a10 = 4 + 18
a10 = 22

Determine the a17 = 12 + (17-1)3
17 term in the
th

sequence a17 = 12 + (16)3

12,15,18,21,…
a17 = 12 + 48
a17 = 60
