ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE
-a sequence whose consecutive terms
have a common difference.
-The constant (d) is called the Common
Difference.
To find the common difference (d),
subtract any term from one that follows it.

Identify Arithmetic Sequences
1. Determine whether the sequence is arithmetic.
1, 2, 4, 8, . . .
+1 +2 +4
7 12 17 22 27
+5 +5 +5 +5
Since this sequence has a common
difference it is an arithmetic sequence.
3. Writing arithmetic sequences
74 67 60 53 ? ? ?
an = a + (n – 1) d
a14 = 4 (14 1) 3 You are
4 (13)3 looking for
the term!
4 39
43 The 14th term in this sequence
is the number 43!
2. Find the 14th term of the
arithmetic sequence with first
a = 5 and d = -6 term of 5 and the common
difference is –6.
an = a + (n – 1) d
a14 = 5 (14 1) -6
You are looking for the
= 5 + (13) * -6 term! List which variables
from the general term are
= 5 + -78 provided!
= -73
The 14th term in this sequence
is the number -73!
3. Find the 20 term of
th
form an A. S.
ARITHMETIC MEAN
Objectives:
a. Find the arithmetic means of an
arithmetic sequence.
b. Insert a certain number of terms
between two given terms of an
arithmetic sequence.
c. Appreciate arithmetic means in
solving real life problems.
Arithmetic Means are the terms between
any two nonconsecutive terms of an
arithmetic sequence.
It is necessary to solve the common
difference of an arithmetic sequence to
insert terms between two nonconsecutive
terms of an arithmetic sequence.

QUESTION:
How were you able to find the missing
terms in the sequence?
Answer the following.
1. Insert two arithmetic means between 20
and 38.
2. Insert three arithmetic means between 52
and 40.
3. Insert three arithmetic means between
1/2 and 13/2.
4. Find the missing terms of the arithmetic
sequence a, __, __, __, __, a+12
