Q1 Math 10 Lesson 1.2

This document provides an overview of arithmetic sequences and series. It defines an arithmetic sequence as a sequence where each term is found by adding a constant value, called the common difference, to the previous term. It gives examples of arithmetic sequences and provides the formula to determine the nth term and sum of an arithmetic sequence. It also defines an arithmetic series as the sum of the terms in an arithmetic sequence and provides the formula to calculate the sum. Several examples of problems involving arithmetic sequences, series, and means are worked out.

Lesson 1.2: Arithmetic Sequences and Series
LESSON 1.2
Arithmetic Sequences and Series
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:
1. illustrate an arithmetic sequence;
2. determine arithmetic means and nth term of an arithmetic
sequence;
3. find the sum of the terms of a given arithmetic sequence; and
4. solve problems involving arithmetic sequence, series, and means
Arithmetic Sequences and Series
A sequence in which a successive term is found by
adding a constant value, called the common
difference to the previous term is called an
arithmetic sequence or arithmetic progression.

A rule that tells how to find a term using the previous


term is called recursive definition of a sequence.

Arithmetic Sequences and Series
 
An arithmetic sequence can be defined by a difference
equation of the form

where
is the nth term
is the first term
n is the position of the term
d is the common difference

The period between full moons has been observed to be
29.53 days. If the full moon of the year occurs 5.62 into the
year (the sixth day of the year), when will the tenth full moon
of the year occur?

The tenth full moon of the year will occur on the 272nd day of
the year.
Arithmetic Sequences and Series
The sum of the terms in an arithmetic sequence forms an arithmetic series.
   
An arithmetic series can be defined by the equation:
 

where
is the sum of the sequence
is the nth term
is the first term
n is the position of the term
 
 
 
 
Arithmetic Sequences and Series
The sum of the terms in an arithmetic sequence forms an arithmetic
series.
   
 If the first term is given and the common difference can be
 
identified, but the last term is not given, the arithmetic
series can be defined by the equation:

second row, increasing by 2 seats per row for a total of 20
rows. How many seats are there in the theater?

There are 1180 seats in the theater.

The arithmetic mean or average of two


numbers a and b is defined as

That is c is the arithmetic mean of a and b for


the sequence a, c, b.
