between any two consecutive terms
are the same.
✓Also called as linear progression.
✓Its graph is always linear

difference in an arithmetic
sequence.

Nth Term of Arithmetic
Sequence
Formula:
𝒂𝒏 = 𝒂𝟏 + 𝒏 − 𝟏 𝒅
Wherein:
𝑎𝑛 = nth term
𝑎1 = first term
n = number of terms
d = common difference

Arithmetic Means
✓terms that are between two
given terms.
Example:
1. In 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, what are
the arithmetic means?
2. Insert three arithmetic
means between 17 and 1.

3.Check if 9 is the
arithmetic mean between
9 and 13.
Challenge yourself

integers in 3 minutes.
Arithmetic Series
✓The sum of terms in an arithmetic
sequence
Example:
1. Find the sum of each sequence
a. 1 + 4 + 7 + 10 + 13 + 16
b. 8 + 12 + 16 + 20 + 24 + 28 + 32 + 36
c. −9 + −4 + 1 + 6 + 11 + 16 + 21
Formula for Arithmetic series:
𝑛
𝑆𝑛 = 𝑎1 + 𝑎𝑛
2
or
𝑛
𝑆𝑛 = [2𝑎1 + 𝑛 − 1 𝑑]
2
Wherein:
𝑎1 = first term
𝑎𝑛 = nth term
𝑛 = the number of terms
𝑑 = common difference
