1 6.2 Arithmetic Sequences A sequence like 2, 5, 8, 11,, where the difference between consecutive terms is a constant, is called an arithmetic sequence. In an arithmetic sequence, the first term, t 1, is denoted by the letter a. Each term after the first is found by adding a constant, called the common difference, d, to the preceding term. INVESTIGATE & INQUIRE For about 200 years, the Gatineau River was used as a highway by logging companies. Logs from the Canadian Shield were floated down the river to the Ottawa River. It has been estimated that 2% of the hundreds of millions of logs that floated down the Gatineau sank. Those that sank below the oxygen level are perfectly preserved and are now being harvested by water loggers, who wear scuba-diving gear. The pressure that a diver experiences is the sum of the pressure of the atmosphere and the pressure of the water. The increase in pressure with depth under water follows an arithmetic sequence. If a diver enters the water when the atmospheric pressure is 100 kpa (kilopascals), the pressure at a depth of 1 m is about 110 kpa. At a depth of 2 m, the pressure is about 120 kpa, and so on. 1. Copy and complete the table for this sequence. Term Pressure (kpa) Pressure (kpa) Expressed Using 100 and 10 Pressure Expressed Using a and d t 1 t 2 t 3 t 4 t (10) a a + 2. What are the values of a and d for this sequence? 3. When you write an expression for a term using the letters a and d, you are writing a formula for the term. What is the formula for t 6? t 8? t 9? 436 MHR Chapter 6
2 4. Evaluate t 8 and t The Gatineau River has maximum depth of 35 m. What pressure would a diver experience at this depth? EXAMPLE 1 Writing Terms of a Sequence Given the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence, = 2n + 1, write the first 6 terms. SOLUTION 1 Paper-and-Pencil Method = 2n + 1 t 1 = 2(1) + 1 = 3 t 2 = 2(2) + 1 = 5 t 3 = 2(3) + 1 = 7 t 4 = 2(4) + 1 = 9 t 5 = 2(5) + 1 = 11 t 6 = 2(6) + 1 = 13 The first 6 terms are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13. SOLUTION 2 Graphing-Calculator Method Use the mode settings to choose the Seq (sequence) graphing mode. Use the sequence function from the LIST OPS menu to generate the first 6 terms. The first 6 terms are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13. Note that the arithmetic sequence defined by = 2n + 1, or f(n) = 2n + 1, in Example 1, is a linear function, as shown by the following graphs n 6.2 Arithmetic Sequences MHR 437
3 EXAMPLE 2 Determining the Value of a Term Given the formula for the nth term, find t 10. a) = 7 + 4n b) f(n) = 5n 8 SOLUTION 1 Pencil-and-Paper Method a) = 7 + 4n b) f(n) = 5n 8 t 10 = 7 + 4(10) f(10) = 5(10) 8 = = 50 8 = 47 = 42 SOLUTION 2 Graphing-Calculator Method Use the mode settings to choose the Seq (sequence) graphing mode. Use the sequence function from the LIST OPS menu to generate the 10th term. a) b) Note that the general arithmetic sequence is a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, where a is the first term and d is the common difference. t 1 = a t 2 = a + d t 3 = a + 2d. = a + (n 1)d, where n is a natural number. Note that d is the difference between any successive pair of terms. For example, t 2 t 1 = (a + d ) a = d t 3 t 2 = (a + 2d ) (a + d ) = a + 2d a d = d 438 MHR Chapter 6
4 EXAMPLE 3 Finding the Formula for the nth Term Find the formula for the nth term,, and find t 19, for the arithmetic sequence 8, 12, 16, SOLUTION For the given sequence, a = 8 and d = 4. = a +(n 1)d Substitute known values: = 8 + (n 1)4 Expand: = 8 + 4n 4 Simplify: = 4n + 4 Three ways to find t 19 are as follows. Method 1 Method 2 Method 3 = a +(n 1)d = 4n + 4 Use a graphing calculator. t 19 = a + (19 1)d t 19 = 4(19) + 4 = a + 18d = = (4) = 80 = = 80 So, = 4n + 4 and t 19 = 80. EXAMPLE 4 Finding the Number of Terms How many terms are there in the following sequence? 3, 2, 7,, 152 SOLUTION For the given sequence, a = 3, d = 5, and = 152. Substitute the known values in the formula for the general term and solve for n. 6.2 Arithmetic Sequences MHR 439
5 = a + (n 1)d Substitute known values: 152 = 3 + (n 1)5 Expand: 152 = 3 + 5n 5 Simplify: 152 = 5n 8 Solve for n: = 5n = 5n = 5n 5 The sequence has 32 terms. 32 = n EXAMPLE 5 Finding Given Two Terms In an arithmetic sequence, t 7 = 121 and t 15 = 193. Find the first three terms of the sequence and. SOLUTION Substitute known values in the formula for the nth term to write a system of equations. Then, solve the system. = a + (n 1)d Write an equation for t 7 : 121 = a + (7 1)d 121 = a + 6d (1) Write an equation for t 15 : 193 = a + (15 1)d 193 = a + 14d (2) Subtract (1) from (2): 72 = 8d Solve for d: 9 = d Substitute 9 for d in (1): 121 = a + 6(9) Solve for a: 121 = a = a Since a = 67 and d = 9, the first three terms of the sequence are 67, 76, and 85. To find, substitute 67 for a and 9 for d in the formula for the nth term. = a + (n 1)d = 67 + (n 1)9 Simplify: = n 9 = 9n + 58 So, the first three terms are 67, 76, and 85, and = 9n MHR Chapter 6 The (1) shows that we are naming the equation as equation one. You can check by substituting 67 for a and 9 for d in (2).
6 Key Concepts The general arithmetic sequence is a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d,, where a is the first term and d is the common difference. The formula for the nth term, or f(n), of an arithmetic sequence is = a + (n 1)d, where n is a natural number. Communicate Your Understanding 1.
