An Arithmetic Sequence is definedas a sequence in which there is a common difference (d) between consecutive terms.
Which of the following sequences are arithmetic? Identify the common difference. YES YES NO NO YES
The common difference is always the difference between any term and the term that proceeds that term. Common Difference = 5
The general form of an ARITHMETIC sequence. First Term: Second Term: Third Term: Fourth Term: Fifth Term: nth Term:
Formula for the nth term of an ARITHMETIC sequence. If we know any three of these we ought to be able to find the fourth.
Given: Find: IDENTIFY SOLVE

The sum of the first n terms of an infinite sequence is called the nth partial sum. Example: The nth Partial Sum
Example 6. Find the 150th partial sum of the arithmetic sequence, 5, 16, 27, 38, 49, …
Example 7. An auditorium has 20 rows of seats. There are 20 seats in the first row, 21 seats in the second row, 22 seats in the third row, and so on. How many seats are there in all 20 rows?
Example 8. A small business sells $10,000 worth of sports memorabilia during its first year. The owner of the business has set a goal of increasing annual sales by $7500 each year for 19 years. Assuming that the goal is met, find the total sales during the first 20 years this business is in operation. So the total sales for the first 2o years is $1,625,000
