What is an arithmetic sequence?

Back

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which the difference between consecutive terms is constant.

What is the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?

Back

The nth term (a_n) can be calculated using the formula: a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d, where a_1 is the first term and d is the common difference.

Front

How do you find the common difference in an arithmetic sequence?

Back

The common difference (d) is found by subtracting any term from the subsequent term: d = a_(n+1) - a_n.

What is the formula for the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series?

Back

The sum (S_n) of the first n terms can be calculated using the formula: S_n = n/2 * (a_1 + a_n), where a_n is the nth term.

Given a_1=5 and a_2=11, find a_15.

Back

a_15 = 5 + (15-1)(11-5) = 89.

Find the 22nd term of the sequence: 5, 8, 11, ...

Back

a_22 = 5 + (22-1)(8-5) = 68.

Identify the common difference in the sequence: 97, 86, 75, 64, ...

Back

The common difference is -11.

What are the next two terms of the sequence 4, 7, 10, 13?

Back

The next two terms are 16 and 19.

Find the sum of the arithmetic series: 2 + (-2) + (-6) + (-10)..., S_10.

Back

S_10 = -160.

What is the first term of an arithmetic sequence?

Back

The first term (a_1) is the initial term of the sequence from which all other terms are derived.
