 A person is considering two job offers. Company A will initially
pay Php 150,000 a year with a guaranteed raise of Php 5,000
each year. Company B offers a starting salary of Php 160,000 a
year but will only guarantee a raise of Php 2,000 a year.
The sequences below show the yearly salaries (in pesos)
for each company.

 Arithmetic Sequence
a sequence in which each term after
the first differs from the preceding term
by a constant. The difference between
consecutive terms is called common
difference of the sequence.
Sequences and Series
 Example: Decide whether each
sequence is arithmetic

a. -10,-6,-2,0,2,6,10,…

b. 5,11,17,23,29,…

 Rule for an Arithmetic Sequence

Example:
a. Write a rule for the nth term of the
sequence 32,47,62,77,… . Then, find a12.

b. One term of an arithmetic sequence is


a8=50. The common difference is 0.25. Write a
rule for the nth term.
