Terms of a Sequence
An ordered list of numbers
such as 5, 14, 27, 65, … is
called a sequence. The
number in a sequence that are
separated by comma are
called terms.
GEC 4

Find the first term and the common difference of each:

1.) 4,9,14,19,
First term (a): 4
24
Common difference (d): a2  a1 = 9 – 4 = 5

2.) First
34,term27,
(a):
20,13,6,  1,  8,....
34
Common difference (d): -7

BE CAREFUL: ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE DIFFERENCE


IS THE SAME BETWEEN EACH TERM !
GEC 4

Difference Table
It shows the difference
between successive terms of
the sequence.

GEC 4

How do you find any term in this sequence?

To find any term in an arithmetic sequence, use the formula

an = a1 + (n – 1)d

where d is the common difference

Vocabulary of Sequences (Universal)


a1  First term
an  nth term
n  number of terms
Sn  sum of n terms
d  common difference

nth term of arithmetic sequence  an a1  n  1d


n
sum of n terms of arithmetic sequence  Sn  a1  an 
