EXPLORE YOUR UNDERSTANDING

1. The symbol an represent the nth or the general term of a sequence.


2. A sequence whose consecutive terms have a common difference is an arithmetic sequence.
3. The number d in an = a1 + (n – 1) d is called the common difference of any two consecutive terms in an arithmetic
sequence.
4. The common difference of the arithmetic sequence 3, 1, −1, −3, −5, … is −2.
5. A finite sequence that has a last term.

n 1 2 3 4 5
3n – 2 = 3(1) – 2 = 3(2) – 2 = 3(3) – 2 = 3(4) – 2 = 3(5) – 2

=1 =4 =7 = 10 = 13
(n – 2)2 = (1 – 2)2 = (2 – 2)2 = (3 – 2)2 = (4 – 2)2 = (5 – 2)2

DEEPEN YOUR UNDERSTANDING

1. 9, 1, −7, −15, …

Common Difference: –8 nth formula of the given sequence

a2 – a1 = 1 – 9 = –8 a1 = 9
a3 – a2 = –7 – 1 = –8 d = –8
a4 – a3 = –15 - –7 = –8 an = a1 + (n – 1) d
an = 9 + (n – 1) –8
an = 9 + n – 9
an = n
2. 4, 7, 10, 13, …

Common Difference: 3 nth formula of the given sequence

a2 – a1 = 7 – 4 = 3 a1 = 4
a3 – a2 = 10 – 7 = 3 d=3
a4 – a3 = 13 – 10 = 3 an = a1 + (n – 1) d
an = 4 + (n – 1) 3
an = 4 + 3n – 3
an = 3n + 1
3. 4, 9, 16, 25, … NOT AN ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE BECAUSE IT HAS NO COMMON DIFFERENCE
4. 5, 12, 22, 35, … NOT AN ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE BECAUSE IT HAS NO COMMON DIFFERENCE
5. 1, 3, 5, 7, …

Common Difference: 2 nth formula of the given sequence

a2 – a1 = 3 – 1 = 2 a1 = 1
a3 – a2 = 5 – 3 = 2 d=2
a4 – a3 = 7 – 5 = 2 an = a1 + (n – 1) d
an = 1 + (n – 1) 2
an = 1 + 2n – 2
an = 2n + 1

TRANSFER YOUR KNOWLEDGE

A. First three terms and tenth term of the sequence.

1. an = 3n – 4

a1 = 3(1) – 4 = 3 – 4 = –1
a2 = 3(2) – 4 = 6 – 4 = 2
a3 = 3(3) – 4 = 9 – 4 = 5

a10 = 3(10) – 4 = 30 – 4 = 26

2. an = 2n + 1

a1 = 21 + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3
a2 = 22 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5
a3 = 23 + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9

a10 = 210 + 1 = 1024 + 1 = 1025

3. an = n + 𝑛

a1 = 1 + 1 = 2
1 𝟓
a2 = 2 + 2 = 𝟐
1 𝟏𝟎
a3 = 3 + 3 = 𝟑

1 𝟏𝟎𝟏
a10 = 10 + 10 = 𝟏𝟎
B. Sum of the first 25 terms given in A.

1. –1, 2, 5, ……, 26
𝑛
d=3 Sn = 2 (a1 + an)
a1 = –1 25
S25 = 2 (–1 + 71)
n = 25
an = a1 + (n – 1) d S25 = 875
a25 = –1 + (25 – 1) 3
a25 = –1 + (24) 3
a25 = 71

2. 3, 5, 9, ……, 1025 – NOT AN ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE BECAUSE IT HAS NO COMMON DIFFERENCE

5 10 101
3. 2, 2,3
