Arithmetic Sequence Series Mean

This document defines and provides examples of arithmetic sequences, series, and means. An arithmetic sequence is a set of numbers where the difference between consecutive terms is constant. The formula to find the nth term is an = a1 + (n-1)d, where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference. Arithmetic series give the sum of the terms in an arithmetic sequence. The arithmetic mean between two terms are all the terms that are equally spaced between them.

A sequence is a set
of things that are in order.

Arithmetic A sequence of numbers such that
the difference between the
Sequence consecutive terms are constant.

formula:
an = a 1 + (n − 1) d

Page 03 12:01 PM
Example
formula:

a n = a 1 + (n − 1) d

Find the 16th term in the sequence:


1, 5, 9, 13....

a1 = 1 , d = 4
a16 = 1 + (16 − 1) 4
= 1 + 15(4)
= 61

Example
formula:

a n = a 1 + (n − 1) d

Find the 20th term of the sequence:


25, 23, 21, 19....

a1 = 25 , d = -2
a20 = 25+ (20 − 1) − 2
= 25 + 19(-2)
= -13
