Target sequence
Goals! find the common
difference, next familiarize the
terms and missing formula of the
terms in an arithmetic sequence

A sequence is a set of
numbers that follows each
other in a logical manner.
Definition of A finite sequence contains a limited
number of terms.

An infinite sequence contains a
countless number of terms.

Pasig City Hall
The ground floor of the Pasig City Hall is 6-meter
high and each floor above it is 4-meter high. If the
Pasig City Hall has 8 floors, how high is it?
With your partner, create a table showing the height
of each floor from the ground.
What is the height of the Pasig City Hall?
Arithmetic Sequence
Arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the
difference between the consecutive terms is constant.
2, 5, 8, 11, 14, _____, … We call the distance between the terms of an
arithmetic sequence as common difference
-3, 1, 3, 5, _____, ...
(d).
0, 4, 8, 12, 16, _____, …
How did we get the common difference?
Find the common difference
1. 24, 14, 4, ... 2. -7, 4, 15, ... 3. -8, -6, -4, ... 4.1, 11.1, 18.1, ...
Find the next two terms of the sequences.
1. 6, 10, 14, ___, ___, ___ 2. 21, 15, 9, ___, ___, ___ 3. 5, -1, -7, ___, ___, ___ 4. -1, -8, -15, ___, ___, ___

Fare rate for first 4 km of a modernized PUJ under
General Community Quarantine released by LTFRB last
April 24, 2020.
Distance Fare
Arithmetic First kilometer 11.00
Second kilometer 12.50
Third kilometer 14.00
Sequence Fourth kilometer 15.50
Around Us Can we consider this as an example of an arithmetic
sequence?
If yes, what is the common difference?
How much would be the fair if a passenger will get off on
the 10th kilometer?
WHAT IF...?
Find the 25th term of the sequence 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, …
Solution:
Find the general term!
WHAT IF...?
Find the 25th term of the sequence 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, …
It has a common difference (𝑑) of 4.
WHAT IF...?
Find the 25th term of the sequence 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, …
WHAT IF...?
Find the 25th term of the sequence 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, …
In the equation 𝑎25 = 1 + (24)4, we can replace 1 as 𝑎1 and 4 as 𝑑. The number inside the
parentheses, comparing that to the number of terms (n), we could see that it is 1 less than n.
WHAT IF...?
Find the 25th term of the sequence 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, …
Thus, the general term for an arithmetic sequence
is
