A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the new lesson (Balik-aral sa nakaraang aralin at/o pagsisimula ng
bagong aralin)

It is a common experience to be confronted with a set of numbers arranged in some order. The order and
arrangement may be given to you or you have to discover a rule for it from some data. For example, the taho vendor
came on July 4, July 6, July 8… He will come in July 26? Consider that you are given the set of dates 4, 6, 8

Arranged from left to right in the order of increasing time, continuing the set we have.

4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18…….

The answer to our question is yes.

Any such ordered arrangement of a set of numbers is called a SEQUENCE.

Look at this second example. Lorna, a 2nd year student in a certain public school, is able to save the money her ninongs
and ninangs gave her last Christmas. She then deposits her savings of P1,000 in an account that earns 10% simple
interest. The total amount of interest she earned in each of the 1st 4 years of her saving is shown below

Year 1 2 3 4
Total amount 10 20 30 40

1
The list of numbers 10, 20, 30, 40 is called a sequence. The list 10,20,30,40 is ordered because the position in this list
indicates the year in which that total amount of interest is earned. Now, each of the numbers of a sequence is called a
term of the sequence. The first term in the sequence 10, 20, 30, 40 is 10, the second term is 20, while the third term is 30
and the fourth term is 40. It is also good to point out that the preceding term of a given term is the term immediately before
that given term. For example, in the given sequence 20 is the term that precedes 30.

In general:

A sequence is a set of numbers written in a specific order:

a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6,………, an

The number a1 is called the 1st term, a2 is the 2nd term, and in general, an is the nth term. Note that each term of the
sequence is paired with a natural number.

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which the difference between any two consecutive terms is the same.
This constant difference is called the common difference, and will be denoted by d. observe the examples.

Arithmetic Sequence Common difference

21, 31, 41, 51, ….. d= 31 – 21 = 10

28, 24, 20, 16,…. D = 20 – 24 = -4

0, 1/3, 2/3, 1, 4/3 d = 4/3 – 1 = 1/3

Let have an example: Determine whether each sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

a. 21, 38, 55, 72, 89,…. b. 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ….. c. ½, 1, 3/2, 2, 5/ 2, …..

Solution: To determine whether a sequence is an arithmetic sequence, determine if there is a common difference

21, 38, 55, 72, 89,…. 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ….. ½, 1, 3/2, 2, 5/ 2, …..

a. 38 – 21 = 17 c. 1–½=½
55 – 38 = 17 b. 4–2=2 3/2 – 1 = ½
72 – 55 = 17 8–4=4 2 – 3/2 = ½
89 – 72 = 17 16 – 8 = 8 5/2 – 2 = ½
32 – 16 = 16
There is a common difference d =
There is a common difference d = 17. There is no common difference. 1/2. Hence ,the sequence is an
Hence , the sequence is an arithmetic Therefore, the sequence is not an arithmetic sequence
sequence arithmetic sequence.

Now it’s your time let me see if you already understand the lesson try to determine whether the sequence is an
arithmetic sequence

1. 9, 18, 27, 36, 54 2. 8, 16, 24, 32, 40

Your answer in number 1 should be NOT because they don’t have a common difference and your answer in number 2
should be an Arithmetic Sequence and the common difference is 8

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson (Paghahabi sa layunin ng aralin)

Trivia Time
- The Egyptians were the first one to develop the
arithmetic sequence.
- Carl Gauss, in 1777 at 10 years old created a
formula to solve for the sum of arithmetic
sequence.

C. Presenting examples/ instances of the new lesson (Pag-uugnay ng mga halimbawa sa bagong aralin)

Let us discover more about arithmetic sequence. Take a look at the table completed below.

Number of square 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Number of matchsticks 4 7 10 13 16 19 22 25 28 31

Let us take the number of matchsticks 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, and 31. We see that the number of
matchsticks forms arithmetic sequence because it as a common difference of 3. Suppose we want to find the 20th, 50th,
and 100th terms of the sequence. How do you get them? Do you think a formula would help? If so, we could find a
formula for the nth term of the sequence. In this case, it will not be difficult since we know the common difference of the
sequence. To get the next term of the sequence just add the common difference of the last term and soon.to find the nth
term of the arithmetic sequence

an = a1 + ( n – 1 ) d
Where a1 is the first term,
n is the number of terms, and
d is the common difference

Example1: what is the 10th term of the arithmetic Example 2: find the 12th term of the arithmetic sequence 3,
sequence 5, 12, 19, 26,….? 5, 7, 9, ….

Step1: identify first a1, n, and d Step1: identify first a1, n, and d
a1 = 5 n = 10 d=7 a1 = 3 n = 12 d=2
Step 2: formula Step 2: formula
an = a1 + ( n – 1 ) d an = a1 + ( n – 1 ) d

Step 3: Substitute Step 3: Substitute

a10 = 5 + ( 10 – 1) (7) a10 = 3 + ( 12 – 1) (2)

3
 Step 4: Solve apply PEMDAS Step 4: Solve apply PEMDAS
a10 = 5 + ( 10 – 1) (7) a10 = 3 + ( 12 – 1) (2)
a10 = 5 + ( 9) (7) a10 = 3 + (11) (2)
a10 = 5 + 63 a10 = 3 + 22
a10 = 68 a10 = 25
therefore the 10th term in the arithmetic sequence is 68 therefore the 12th term in the arithmetic sequence is 25

Now it’s your turn we will go back to the problem of squares and matches can you find now the 20th, 50th, and
100th terms of the sequence.
You answer should be a20 = 61, a50= 151 and lastly a100 301. If your answer is correct you may proceed to the next
example but if your answer is not correct go back to the example and try all over again.

Example 3: Find the 7th term of an arithmetic sequence if the third term is 5 and the 5th term is 11

Solution
In this problem the given are a3 = 5, a5 = 11 and we will find the 7th term by using the formula of arithmetic sequence
an = a1 + ( n – 1 ) d, the first term is not given and also the common difference because we don’t have a consecutive
terms.

Since we have a value for a3 = 5 and a5 = 11

a3 = 5 we will solve for the 3rd term a5 = 11 we will for the 5th term
a3= a1 + ( n – 1 ) d a5= a1 + ( n – 1 ) d
5 = a1 + ( 3 – 1) d
5 = a1 + 2d
Equation 1 11 = a1 + ( 5 – 1) d
11 = a1 + 4d
Equation 2
now we have already 2 equation by using this 2 equation we can now solve for the common difference using solving of
system equation

Equation 2 : 11 = a1 + 4d Using elimination method

Equation 1 5 = a1 + 2d
6= 2d
Walang forever dapat alisin yung kasama ni d. divide both side by 2
2 2

3 = d therefore the value of common difference is 3

Next step we will solve for the value of a1. You can use any of the 2 equation you still get the same answer
5 = a1 + 2d 11 = a1 + 4d
5 = a1 + 2(3) 11 = a1 + 4(3)
5 = a1 + 6 Equation 1 11 = a1 + 8 Equation 2
5 – 6 = a1 11 – 8 = a1
-1 = a1 -1 = a1

Now we have already the value of a1 which is -1 and common difference which is 3 we can now find the value of the 7 th
term in the sequence
Step1: identify first a1, n, and d
a1 = -1 n=7 d=3
Step 2: formula
an = a1 + ( n – 1 ) d

Step 3: Substitute
a10 = -1 + ( 7 – 1) (3)
Step 4: Solve apply PEMDAS
a10 = -1 + ( 7 – 1) (3)
a10 = -1 + ( 6) (3)
a10 = -1 + 18
a10 = 17

It’s your time to shine. If the 3rd tem of an arithmetic sequence is 13 and the 9 th term is 37, what is the 13 term in
the sequence?
You should get 53. If you get the correct answer you will proceed to the next activity. But if your answer is not correct go
back again to the example and try all over again.

Arithmetic means

The terms of an arithmetic sequence that are between two given terms are called arithmetic means. In the
arithmetic sequence 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, there are three arithmetic means between 5 and 17. These are 8, 11, and 14.

Example1: insert three arithmetic means between 17 and Example 2: insert 4 arithmetic means between 5 and 25
1

Solution the arithmetic sequence is of the form Solution the arithmetic sequence is of the form

17, a2, a3, a4, 1 5, a2, a3, a4, a5 25

This indicate that a1= 17, a5 = 1, and n = 5 because we This indicate that a1= 5, a6 = 25, and n = 6 because we
have 5 terms. To find the common difference, have 6 terms. To find the common difference,

We will use the last term which is a5 We will use the last term which is a6
Step1: identify first a1, n, and an Step1: identify first a1, n, and an

a1 = 17 n=5 a5 = 1 d= a1 = 5 n=6 a6 = 25 d=
Step 2: formula Step 2: formula
an = a1 + ( n – 1 ) d an = a1 + ( n – 1 ) d

Step 3: Substitute Step 3: Substitute

1 = 17 + ( 5 – 1) (d) 25 = 5 + ( 6 – 1) (d)
Step 4: Solve apply PEMDAS Step 4: Solve apply PEMDAS
1 = 17 + ( 5 – 1) (d) 25 = 5 + ( 6 – 1) (d)
1 = 17 + (4) (d) 25 = 5 + (5) (d)
1 = 17 + 4d 25 = 5 + 5d
1 – 17 = 4d 25 – 5 = 5d
-16 = 4d 20 = 5d
4 4 5 5
-4 = d 4=d
Using the value of d, we can now get the value of a2, a3, Using the value of d, we can now get the value of a2, a3, a4
and a4 thus, and a5 thus,

a2 = a1 + d a3 = a2 + d a 4 = a3 + d a2 = a1 + d a 3 = a2 + d a4 = a3 + d
a2 = 17 + (-4) a3 =13 + (-4) a4 = 9 + (-4) a2 = 5 + (4) a3 =9 + (4) a4 = 13 + (4)
a2 = 13 a3 = 9 a4 = 5 a2 = 9 a3 = 13 a4 = 17

therefore the sequence will be a5 = a 4 + d

a5 = 17 + (4)
17, 13, 9, 5, 1 a5 = 21

therefore the sequence will be

5
 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25

Now, you try to insert three arithmetic means between 8 and 36 as the third example. You should get 8, 15, 22,
29, and 36. If your answer is correct, you may proceed to the next activity. If not, I am sorry but you have to go back to the
examples and try all over again.
