    SEQUENCES AND

    SERIES
    LECTURE 1 OF 2
    LEARNING OUTCOMES
    • At the end of the lesson, students should be able to

    • a) write nth term of simple sequences and


    series.
    • b) find the nth term of arithmetic sequence and
    series, Tn = a + (n −1)d and use the formula of
    Sn = n [2a + (n −1)d] or
    2 S n = n (a + l)
    2
    a) Write nth term of simple sequences
    and series

    A sequence is a set of numbers arranged


    in a particular order.
    For example, 3, 6, 9, 12, …

    Each number in a sequence is called a


    term.

    For the above example, 3 is the first term,


    6 is second term and so on.
    A finite sequence has a fixed number of
    terms. For example, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15. 🡨

    An infinite sequence has an infinite


    number of terms.
    For example, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15,…🡨
    Example 1
    Find the first four terms of the sequence
    whose nth term is
    given by Tn = 5n + 6 .

    Tips: n – the number of term in the sequences.

    This question ask you to find the 1st , 2nd


    , 3rd and 4th term.
    Solution
    Tn = 5n +6

    T1= 5(1)+ 6 =11

    T2= 5(2) + 6 =16

    T3 = 5(3) + 6 = 21

    T4 = 5(4) + 6 =26

    The first four terms are 11, 16, 21,


    26
    Example 2
    Find the nth term for each of the
    following sequences.
    a) 2, 4, 6, 8,...
    b) 3, 5, 7, 9,...
     
    c)
    Solution a =2
    d= 4-2 = 2

    a) 2, 4, 6,8,... T = a +(n −1)d


    n

    Tn = 2+(n −1)2
    Tn=2n Tn = 2+2n-2

    b) 3, 5, 7, 9,... a =3
    d= 5-3 = 2
    Tn = 2n +1 Tn = a + (n −1)d
    Tn = 3+ (n −1)2
    Tn = 3+2n-2

    c)  
    a =1/2
      d= (1) -1/2= 1/2
    T Tn = 1/2 +(n −1) 1/2
    n=
    Tn = 1/2 +(n −1) 1/2
    Tn = 1/2 +(1/2 )n- 1/2
    EXERCISE!!

    State the first term a , the common difference d,


    and hence the common term (Tn).

    a) -20,-10,0,10,20…. nth term


    b) 3,5,7,9 …. nth term
    b) Find the nth term of arithmetic
    sequence and series and use the sum
    formula

    An arithmetic sequence (progression) is a


    sequence of numbers in which any term may
    be obtained from the previous term by
    adding a certain number, called the
    common difference.

    Generally, the terms of an arithmetic


    sequence are given by a, a + d, a + 2d, a
    +3d,... where
    a is the first term while d is common different
    The nth term of an arithmetic sequence
    is
    Tn= a + (n −1)d

    The sum of the first n terms of an


    arithmetic sequence is

    Sn = 2n [2a +(n −1)d]

    or Sn = n (a +l)
    2

    where l is the last term.


    Example 4
    Find the nth term of the arithmetic
    sequence
    13,10, 7, 4,...
    Solution
    13, 10, 7, 4,...
    a =13
    d =10 −13 = −3
    Tn = a + (n −1)d
    Tn =13+(n −1)(−3)
    =13− 3n + 3
    =16 − 3n

    term.

    Mathematic 1
    Solution
    T12 = 38 Tn= a + (n −1)d

    a +11d = 38 (1)

    T17 = 53
    a +16d =53 (2)
