Engprof Arithmetic

This document contains information about arithmetic sequences and series: 1. It provides examples of finding the first term and common difference of arithmetic sequences. 2. It explains that the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by the formula an = a + (n - 1)d, where a is the first term and d is the common difference. 3. It defines an arithmetic series as the sum of the terms in an arithmetic sequence and provides the formula to calculate the sum of an arithmetic series as Sn = n(a1 + an)/2, where a1 is the first term, an is the last term, and n is the number of terms.

Arithmetic Sequences
List with commas ( 3,8,13,18)

Arithmetic Series
Indicated sum ( 3 + 8 + 13 + 18 )
• A sequence in which a constant ( d )
Examples
can be added to each term to get the Find the first term and the common
next term difference of each arithmetic sequence
• The constant ( d ) is called the 1. 4,9,14,19,24
Common Difference 2. 34,27,20,13,6, -1, -8
• To find the common difference ( d ) ,
Answer :
subtract any term from one that follow 1. First term ( a ) = 4
it Common difference ( d )= a1-a2
= 9-4
=5
1. 2. First term ( a ) = 34
Common difference ( d )= -7
The first term of an arithmetic sequence is (a) . We
add (d) to get the next term. There is a pattern,
Examples :
therefore there is a formula (explicit formula) we can
use to give use any term that we need without listing Find the 14th term of the arithmetic sequence
the whole sequence 4, 7, 10, 13,……

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by: Answer :


an = a + (n – 1) d
an = a + (n – 1) d
a14 = 4 + ( 14 – 1 ) 3
=4 + ( 13) 3
a : First term
= 4 + 39
n :The position the term is in =43
d : The common difference
Examples
Find the sum of the terms of this
arithmetic series.
