Vocabulary sequence term arithmetic sequence common difference
Example 1A Describe an Arithmetic Sequence A. Describe the sequence 15, 16, 17, 18, … using words and symbols. The common difference of the terms is 1. The difference of term numbers is 1.
Example 1A Describe an Arithmetic Sequence Answer: So, the equation that describes the sequence is t = n The terms have a common difference of 1. A term is 14 more than the term number.
Example 1B Describe an Arithmetic Sequence B. Describe the sequence 10, 20, 30, 40, … using words and symbols. The common difference of the terms is 10. The difference of term numbers is 1.
Example 1B Describe an Arithmetic Sequence Answer: So, the equation that describes the sequence is t = 10n. The terms have a common difference of 10. A term is 10 times the term number.
Example 1A A. Describe the sequence 7, 14, 21, 28, … using words and symbols. A.difference of term numbers: 7; common difference: 1; equation: t = n + 3 B.difference of term numbers: 7; common difference: 1; equation: t = 7n C.difference of term numbers: 1; common difference: 7; equation: t = n + 3 D.difference of term numbers: 1; common difference: 7; equation: t = 7n
Example 1B B. Describe the sequence 5, 6, 7, 8, … using words and symbols. A.difference of term numbers: 1; common difference: 5; equation: t = n + 5 B.difference of term numbers: 1; common difference: 1; equation: t = n + 4 C.difference of term numbers: 1; common difference: 4; equation: t = 4n D.difference of term numbers: 5; common difference: 1; equation: t = 5n
Example 2 Find a Term in an Arithmetic Sequence The common difference is 3 times the difference of the term numbers. This suggests that t + 3n. However, you need to add 3 to get the exact value of t. Thus, t = 3n + 3. The difference of the term numbers is 1. The terms have a common difference of 3. Write an equation that describes the sequence 6, 9, 12, 15, …. Then find the 11th term of the sequence.
Example 2 Find a Term in an Arithmetic Sequence CheckIf n = 2, then t = 3(2) + 3 or 9. To find the 11th term in the sequence, let n = 11 and solve for t. t=3n + 3Write the equation. =3(11) + 3 or 36Replace n with 11. If n = 4, then t = 3(4) + 3 or 15. Answer: The equation t = 3n + 3 describes the sequence. The 11th term is 36.
Example 2 Find the 14th term of 4, 9, 14, 19, …. A.19 B.50 C.20 D.69
Example 3 Find a Term in an Arithmetic Sequence TELEPHONE CHARGES For a telephone call to India, a telephone company charges $8 for the first minute and $4 for each additional minute. How much does it cost for a 10-minute call?
Example 3 Find a Term in an Arithmetic Sequence Make a table to organize the sequence and find a rule. The pattern in the table shows the equation c = 4m + 4. c =4m + 4Write the equation. =4(10) + 4Replace m with 4. =44Simplify. The difference of the term numbers is 1. The terms have a common difference of 4. Answer: A 10-minute call would cost $44.
Example 3 READING During one month Mitch read 3 books. Each month after, he read only 2 books. After 12 months, how many books did Mitch read? A.22 books B.24 books C.25 books D.27 books
