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.

• An arithmetic series is the sum of sequence { a_k } , k =
1,2..., in which each term is computed form the previous
