Arithmetic Sequence (Autosaved)

The document explains arithmetic sequences, which are sets of numbers with a constant difference between successive terms, known as the common difference (d). It includes examples for finding the common difference, calculating specific terms using the arithmetic sequence formula, and determining the arithmetic mean. Additionally, it discusses arithmetic series as the sum of such sequences and provides formulas for calculating sums of terms.

INDUCTION
[ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE]
ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE
• A sequence is a set of numbers.
• An arithmetic sequence is a set of numbers
where the difference between two successive
terms is constant.
• The difference between the two successive terms
is known as the common.
• Difference denoted d.
FINDING COMMON DIFFERENCE
• COMMON DIFFERENCE (d)

d=
EXAMPLE
• FIND THE COMMON DIFFERENCE IN THESE
SET OF NUMBERS.

4, 11, 18, 25
ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE FORMULA

(n-1)d
EXAMPLE 1
• Using the arithmetic sequence formula, find
the 11th term in the sequence

5, 11, 17, 23, 29


EXAMPLE 2
Find the first term in the
arithmetic sequence where the
35th term is 687 and the
common difference 14.
ARITHMETIC MEAN
• Arithmetic mean is often referred to as the mean or arithmetic average. It is
calculated by adding all the numbers in a given data set and then dividing it
by the total number of items within that set.

2
EXAMPLE 1
Find an arithmetic mean
between
5 & 19
EXAMPLE 2
Insert four arithmetic
means between 3 & 12
ARITHMETIC SERIES
Arithmetic series is the sum of a
sequence in which each term is
computed from the previous one by
adding (or subtracting ) a constant.
FORMULAS
EXAMPLE 1
Find the sum of the first 40
terms of the arithmetic series
2, 5, 8, 11, …
EXAMPLE 2
Find the sum of the first 5 terms
of the arithmetic series where
the first term is and the
common difference d= 4.
