Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences During a thunderstorm, you can estimate your distance from a lightning strike by counting the number of seconds from the time you see the lightning until you hear the thunder. When you list the times and distances in order, each list forms a sequence. A sequence is a list of numbers that often forms a pattern. Each number in a sequence is a term.

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences Distance (mi) Time (s) +0.2 Notice that in the distance sequence, you can find the next term by adding 0.2 to the previous term. When the terms of a sequence differ by the same nonzero number d, the sequence is an arithmetic sequence and d is the common difference. So the distances in the table form an arithmetic sequence with the common difference of 0.2. Time (s) Distance (mi)

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences Example 1A: Identifying Arithmetic Sequences Determine whether the sequence appears to be an arithmetic sequence. If so, find the common difference and the next three terms. 9, 13, 17, 21, … Step 1 Find the difference between successive terms. You add 4 to each term to find the next term. The common difference is 4. 9, 13, 17, 21, … +4

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences Step 2 Use the common difference to find the next 3 terms. 9, 13, 17, 21, +4 The sequence appears to be an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 4. The next three terms are 25, 29, 33. Example 1A Continued Determine whether the sequence appears to be an arithmetic sequence. If so, find the common difference and the next three terms. 9, 13, 17, 21, … 25, 29, 33, …

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences Reading Math The three dots at the end of a sequence are called an ellipsis. They mean that the sequence continues and can read as “and so on.”

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences Example 1B: Identifying Arithmetic Sequences Determine whether the sequence appears to be an arithmetic sequence. If so, find the common difference and the next three terms. 10, 8, 5, 1, … Find the difference between successive terms. 10, 8, 5, 1, …

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences Determine whether the sequence appears to be an arithmetic sequence. If so, find the common difference and the next three terms. Check It Out! Example 1c –4, –2, 1, 5,… Step 1 Find the difference between successive terms. –4, –2, 1, 5,…

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences 4, 1, – 2, – 5, … Step 1 Find the difference between successive terms. 4, 1, – 2, – 5, … Determine whether the sequence appears to be an arithmetic sequence. If so, find the common difference and the next three terms. Check It Out! Example 1d

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences Step 2 Use the common difference to find the next 3 terms. 4, 1, – 2, – 5, Check It Out! Example 1d Continued 4, 1, – 2, – 5, … Determine whether the sequence appears to be an arithmetic sequence. If so, find the common difference and the next three terms.

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences The variable a is often used to represent terms in a sequence. The variable a 9, read “ a sub 9, ” is the ninth term, in a sequence. To designate any term, or the nth term in a sequence, you write a n, where n can be any number … n Position The sequence above starts with 3. The common difference d is 2. You can use the first term and the common difference to write a rule for finding a n. 3, 5, 7, 9 … Term a 1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a n

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences The pattern in the table shows that to find the nth term, add the first term to the product of (n – 1) and the common difference.

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences Example 2A: Finding the nth Term of an Arithmetic Sequence Find the indicated term of the arithmetic sequence. 16th term: 4, 8, 12, 16, … Step 1 Find the common difference. 4, 8, 12, 16, … The common difference is 4. Step 2 Write a rule to find the 16th term. The 16th term is 64. Write a rule to find the nth term. Simplify the expression in parentheses. Multiply. Add. Substitute 4 for a 1,16 for n, and 4 for d. a n = a 1 + (n – 1)d a 16 = 4 + (16 – 1)(4) = 4 + (15)(4) = = 64

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences Example 2B: Finding the nth Term of an Arithmetic Sequence Find the indicated term of the arithmetic sequence. The 25th term: a 1 = –5; d = –2 Write a rule to find the nth term. Simplify the expression in parentheses. Multiply. Add. The 25th term is –53. Substitute –5 for a 1, 25 for n, and –2 for d. a n = a 1 + (n – 1)d a 25 = – 5 + (25 – 1)( – 2) = – 5 + (24)( – 2) = – 5 + ( – 48) = – 53

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences Check It Out! Example 2a Find the indicated term of the arithmetic sequence. 60th term: 11, 5, –1, –7, …

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences Check It Out! Example 2b Find the indicated term of the arithmetic sequence. 12th term: a 1 = 4.2; d = 1.4

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences Example 3: Application A bag of cat food weighs 18 pounds. Each day, the cats are feed 0.5 pound of food. How much does the bag of cat food weigh after 30 days? Step 1 Determine whether the situation appears to be arithmetic. The sequence for the situation is arithmetic because the cat food decreases by 0.5 pound each day. Step 2 Find d, a 1, and n. Since the weight of the bag decrease by 0.5 pound each day, d = –0.5. Since the bag weighs 18 pounds to start, a 1 = 18. Since you want to find the weight of the bag after 30 days, you will need to find the 31st term of the sequence so n = 31.

Holt Algebra Arithmetic Sequences Example 3 Continued Step 3 Find the amount of cat food remaining for a n. There will be 3 pounds of cat food remaining after 30 days. Write the rule to find the nth term. Simplify the expression in parentheses. Multiply. Add. Substitute 18 for a 1, –0.5 for d, and 31 for n. a n = a 1 + (n – 1)d a 31 = 18 + (31 – 1)( – 0.5) = 18 + (30)( – 0.5) = 18 + ( – 15) = 3
