Activity 1: What Do We Have In Common?
1. Below are squares formed by matchsticks.

2. Count the number of matchsticks in each figure and record the results in a table.

Number of squares 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Number of matchsticks 4 7 10 13 16 19 22 25 28 31

Guide Questions:
1. Is there a pattern in the number of matchsticks? If there is, describe it.
Yes, the number of matchsticks is three more than the preceding number of matchsticks.
2. How is each term (number of matchsticks) found?
By adding 3
3. What is the difference between any two consecutive terms?
3

ABSTRACTION

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where every


term after the first is obtained by adding a constant called
the common difference(d).
The sequence 1, 4, 7, 10, and 15, 11, 7, 3 are
examples of arithmetic sequence since each one has a
common difference of 3 and 4 respectively.

Suppose that the first term of a sequence is 1


2 = 1 + 1
3 = 2 +

ABSTRACTION

3 = 1 + +
3 = 1 + 2
4 = 3 +
4 = 1 + 2 +
4 = 1 + 3
In general, the first n terms of an arithmetic
sequence with a1 as the first term and d as common
difference are
= 1 + 1

Example 1. What is the 10th term of the arithmetic


sequence 5, 12, 19, 26,?
Solution:
Since a1 = 5; n = 10; d = 7
Then, an = a1 + (n -1)d
Then,a10 = 5 + (10 -1)7
a10 = 5 + (9)7
Then,a10 = 5 + 63
Then,a10 = 68
Thus, the 10th term of the arithmetic
sequence is 68.

Example 2. How many terms are there in the arithmetic
sequence 4, - 2, 0, 2,if the nth term is 76?
Solution:
Since a1 = -4; d = 2; an = 76
Then, an = a1 + (n-1)d
Then,76 = - 4 + (n-1)2
76 = - 4 + 2n 2
Then,76 = -6 + 2n
Then,76 + 6 = 2n
82 = 2n
n = 41
Thus, there are 41 terms.

Example 3. Find the value of y so that y + 3, 4y + 1, 8y 3


is an arithmetic sequence.
Solution:
a1 = y + 3; a2 = 4y + 1, a3 = 8y 3
a2 a1 = a3 a2
4y + 1 (y + 3) = 8y 3 (4y + 1)
4y + 1 y 3 = 8y 3 4y 1
2 + 3y = 4y 4
2=y
Thus, the value of y is 2.

APPLICATION
Example 3. The first term of an arithmetic sequence is
- 15 and the fifth term is 13. Find the fortieth term.
Solution:
Since 5 = 13 use n = 5 in the formula
= 1 + 1 in order to solve for d.
5 = 1 + 5 1
13 = 15 + 4
28 = 4
7=
40 = 15 + 40 1 7
Then 40 = 15 + 39 7
40 = 258
