Definition and Formula of an Arithmetic Sequence

A sequence is arithmetic when

there is a COMMON DIFFERENCE
_______________________________.

To determine the nth term of an arithmetic

sequence, use the formula:
𝒂𝒏 = 𝒂𝟏 + 𝒏 − 𝟏 𝒅

 Finding the Terms of an Arithmetic Sequence
Example 1: Write the rule/formula for the nth term of the sequence

30, 26, 22, …

𝑎3 = 𝑎8 + 𝑛 − 1 𝑑
𝑎3 = 30 + 𝑛 − 1 (−4)
𝑎3 = 30 − 4𝑛 + 4
𝑎3 = 34 − 4𝑛
Finding the Terms of an Arithmetic Sequence
Example 2: Find the 25th term of the Arithmetic Sequence:

18, 22, 26, 30, 34, …

𝑎3 = 𝑎8 + 𝑛 − 1 𝑑
𝑎21 = 18 + 25 − 1 4
𝑎21 = 18 + 96

Finding the Terms of an Arithmetic Sequence
Example 3: One term of the arithmetic sequence is
𝑎(& = 32. 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑛 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑠 3.
a) Find the first term.
32 = 𝑎8 + 10 − 1 3
32 = 𝑎8 + 9 3
32 = 𝑎8 + 27
32 − 27 = 𝑎8
5 = 𝑎8

Activity 3: An Investigation on the Graph of Arithmetic Sequence

Auntie Melinda sells brownies for 15 pesos

each. For every brownies sold, an
additional of 15 pesos is added to the
income. If she sells 50 pieces of brownies,
how much money will she have at the end
of the day?

 Other Real Life Applications
The first row of the concert hall has 30 seats and
each row after the first has one more seat then
the row before it. There are 40 rows of seats.

a)Write the equation for the number of seats
in the nth row.
𝑎@ = 𝑎A + 𝑛 − 1 𝑑
𝑎@ = 30 + 𝑛 − 1 1
𝑎@ = 29 + 𝑛
b) One class of 50 students wants to seat in
one row. In what row will they seat?

50 = 29 + 𝑛
50 − 29 = 𝑛
21 = 𝑛
∴ 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑠𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 21𝑠𝑡 𝑟𝑜𝑤.
c) What is the capacity of the hall if there are 40 rows?

𝑎"( = 30 + 40 − 1 1
𝑎"( = 69
40 30 + 69
𝑆#$ = = 1980

∴ 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑖𝑠 1,980 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒.
d) If the management of the concert hall plans to add 10
more rows, how many more seats will be added?
After the expansion, there will be 40 + 10 = 50 𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑠.
𝑎16 = 30 + 50 − 1 1
𝑎16 = 79
50 30 + 79
𝑆+& = = 2725

The number of additional seats is
𝑆16 − 𝑆K6 = 2,725 − 1,980 = 𝟕𝟒𝟓
