here are the objectives.
OBJECTIVES:

1. Defines harmonic sequence;

2. Determines whether the given
sequence is harmonic or not;
3. Finds the nth term of harmonic
sequence;
4. Solves problems involving
harmonic sequence;
5. Considers the importance of the

harmonic sequence; and
6. Create a PowerPoint presentation
showing the harmonic sequence in
real-life.

Who among you have the idea or can give the

Answer may vary.
definition of harmonic?

Answer may vary.

How about harmonic sequence.

Very good.

Harmonic sequence or progression is a

sequence such that the reciprocals of the terms
form an arithmetic sequence or progression.

Example:

Harmonic sequence:
1 1 1 1
, , , ,...
2 4 6 8

Arithmetic sequence:
2, 4, 6, 8, . . .

Find the next three terms of the sequence.

1 1 1 1
, , , , ___ , ____ , _____ , . . .
2 4 6 8

2, 4, 6, 8, ____ , ____ , ___ , . . .

d=2

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, . . .

Therefore, the next three terms are

1 1 1
, , ,...
10 12 14
ACTIVITY #3: “BAWAL

harmonic or not.

Now, who can still remember the formula of

arithmetic sequence? Answer may vary.

What is the 11th term of the harmonic

1 1 1 1
sequence , , , , . . . ?
2 4 6 8

an =
a1 + ( n−1 ) d

Arithmetic sequence: 2, 4, 6, 8, . . .

an = a1 + (n – 1)d
a11 = 2 + (11 – 1)2
a11 = 2 + (10)2
a11 = 2 + 20
a11 = 22
