In this topic,
I learned
what
an arithmetic
sequence and formulas how to calculate it. An
arithmetic sequence is a sequence of values that follows a pattern of adding a fixed
amount from one term to the next. The fixed amount is called the common difference. As
long as you know what the common difference is, you can easily get the preceding terms.
Its a matter of adding. It seems easy but when fractions are already involved, I
Topic
sometimes get confused. Also, the part where there is only limited given, and you have to
find for the sequence, then you first have to find for the common difference. I will give
myself a 3, I think this is the average score, I did know what to do; all the processes; but
I think I still need more practice, much more on the word problems. Im not sure on what
formula to use. The main key to this is to learn to analyze. If we carefully analyze
problems we will eventually get the answer. Its like in real life situations, there is a
solution to every problem. We just have to outsmart challenges and analyze them carefully.
There is a pattern in arithmetic sequence likewise in our lives. Theres a certain plan God
has made for us and theres a certain formula that He gave us to solve our problems. The
topic helped me improve my analytical skills. I can apply them when there is analyzation
needed for a certain problem.
