GPS Algebra EQ: How do you write the rule for an arithmetic sequence? How do you find the 50th term? How do you compute the sum of an arithmetic series? MA1A3.d. Explore arithmetic series and various ways of computing their sums.
Sequences The values in the range are called the terms of the sequence. Domain: 1 2 3 4…....n Range: a1 a2 a3 a4…..an A sequence can be specified by an equation or rule.
Find the first 5 Terms of the Sequence an = 2n – 3 Find a1, a2, a3, a4, a5 a1 = -1 First Term a2 = 1 Second Term a3 = 3 Third Term a4 = 5 Fourth Term a5 = 7 Fifth Term
Find the first 5 Terms of the Sequence an = n3 – 20 Find a1, a2, a3, a4, a5 a1 = First Term a2 = Second Term a3 = Third Term a4 = Fourth Term a5 = Fifth Term -19 -12 7 44 105
Arithmetic Sequences will have a constant common difference.
Tell whether the sequence 2, 11, 20, 29, 38, … is arithmetic. Yes because each common difference is 9.
Tell whether the sequence 4, 8, 16, 22, 32, … is arithmetic. No because the difference is not constant.
Arithmetic Sequences
Write the rule Example: 3, 5, 7, 9, ... an = 2n + 1
