Definition of Terms
Arithmetic Sequences
- isa sequence where every term
after the first is obtained by adding a
constant called common difference.
ACTIVITY 1
-Identifying Arithmetic
Sequence-
Direction:
Identify the following sequence if it is arithmetic
sequence or not. Write AS if it is Arithmetic
Sequence then determine the common difference
and NAS if it is not.
