A sequence in which a constant (d) can be added to each term to get the next term is called an Arithmetic Sequence. The constant (d) is called the Common Difference. To find the common difference (d), subtract any term from one that follows it t1t1 t2t2 t3t3 t4t4 t5t5

Find the first term and the common difference of each arithmetic sequence. First term (a):4 Common difference (d):= 9 – 4 = 5 First term (a): 34 Common difference (d): -7 BE CAREFUL: ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE DIFFERENCE IS THE SAME BETWEEN EACH TERM !

Now you try! Find the first term and the common difference of each of these arithmetic sequences. b) 11, 23, 35, 47, …. a) 1, -4, -9, -14, …. d) s-4, 3s-3, 5s-2, 7s-1, ….. c) 3x-8, x-8, -x-8, -3x-8

b) 11, 23, 35, 47, …. a) 1, -4, -9, -14, …. d) s-4, 3s-3, 5s-2, 7s-1, ….. c) 3x-8, x-8, -x-8, -3x-8 Answers with solutions a = 1 and d = a 2 - a 1 = = - 5 a = 11 and d = a 2 - a 1 = = 12 a = 3x-8 and d = a 2 - a 1 = x – 8 – (3x – 8) = - 2x a = s - 4 and d = a 2 - a 1 = 3s – 3 – (s (s – 4) = 2s + 1

The first term of an arithmetic sequence is. We add (d) to get the next term. There is a pattern, therefore there is a formula we can use to give use any term that we need without listing the whole sequence. The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by: The last # in the sequence/or the # you are looking for First term The position the term is in The common difference t n = a + (n – 1) d

Find the 14 th term of the arithmetic sequence 4, 7, 10, 13,…… t n = a + (n – 1) d t 14 = You are looking for the term! The 14 th term in this sequence is the number 43!

Now you try! Find the 10th and 25 th term given the following information. Make sure to derive the general formula first and then list ehat you have been provided. b) x+10, x+7, x+4, x+1, …. a) 1, 7, 13, 19 …. d) The second term is 8 and the common difference is 3 c) The first term is 3 and the common difference is -21

b) x+10, x+7, x+4, x+1,. a) 1, 7, 13, 19 …. …. d) The second term is 8 and the common difference is 3 c) The first term is 3 and the common difference is - 21 Answers with solutions a = 1 and d = a 2 - a 1 = 7 – 1 = 6 t n =a+(n-1)d = 1 + (n-1) 6 = 1+6n-6 = 6n-5 t 10 = 6(10) – 5 = 55 t 25 = 6(25)-5 = 145 a = x+10 and d = a 2 - a 1 = x+7-(x+10) = -3 t n =a+(n-1)d = x+10 + (n-1)(-3) = x+10-3n+3 = x-3n+13 t 10 = x -3(10)+13 = x - 17 t 25 = x -3(25)+13 = x - 62 a = 3 and d = 21 t n =a+(n-1)d = 3 + (n-1) 21 = 3+21n-21 = 21n-18 t 10 = 21(10) – 5 = 205 t 25 = 21(25)-5 = 520 a = = 5 and d = 3 t n =a+(n-1)d = 5 + (n-1) 3 = 5+3n-3 = 3n+2 t 10 = 3(10) +2 = 32 t 25 = 3(25)+2 = 77

Find the 14 th term of the arithmetic sequence with first term of 5 and the common difference is –6. t n = a + (n – 1) d t 14 = You are looking for the term! List which variables from the general term are provided! The 14 th term in this sequence is the number -73! a = 5 and d = = 5 + (13) * -6 = = -73

In the arithmetic sequence 4,7,10,13,…, which term has a value of 301? t n = a + (n – 1) d You are looking for n! The 100 th term in this sequence is 301!

In an arithmetic sequence, term 10 is 33 and term 22 is –3. What are the first four terms of the sequence? The sequence is 60, 57, 54, 51, ……. Use what you know! t 10 =33 t 22 = -3 t n = a + (n – 1) d For term 10: 33= a + 9d t n = a + (n – 1) d For term 22 : -3= a + 21d HMMM! Two equations you can solve! 33 = a+9d -3 = a+21d By elimination - 36 = 12d -3 = d SOLVE: 33 = a + 9d 33 = a +9(-3) 33 = a –27 60 = a
