3. 3-4 Arithmetic Sequences
Sequence: A set of numbers, called terms, in a specific order.
Arithmetic Sequence: A numerical pattern that increases or decreases at a constant rate or value called the common difference (difference between the terms).
1,4,7,10…
1 + 3 = 4
4 + 3 = 7
7 + 3 = 10

4. Determine whether each sequence is arithmetic. Justify your answer.
-15, -13, -11, -9,…
yes, the difference is +2 each time
No, the difference is not constant each time.

5. Find the next 3 terms of the sequence.
-8, -11, -14, -17,…
What is the common difference? -3
What are the next 3 terms?
-20, -23, -26
Now look at the table set up on page It leads to a formula that is useful in finding any term in an arithmetic sequence.

6. nth Term of a Sequence
The nth term an of an arithmetic sequence with first term a1 and common difference d is given
Where n is a positive integer.

7. Find the 9th term in the sequence 7, 11, 15, 19
What is a1? 7
What is n? 9
What is d? +4

8. Consider the sequence -8, 1, 10, 19,…
Write an equation for the nth term of the sequence.
Find the 12th term.
Find the 35th term.
