14.1 Arithmetic Sequences
OBJ: • Find terms of
arithmetic sequences
Arithmetic progressions or sequences (A.P.) have a common difference d between each term.
To find d, take any term minus the term before it.
EX: For each progression that is an A.P., find the common difference d. Give a reason
for each answer. 3,3+25, 3+45,… Answer
3+25 – 3 =
25
A.P.
Reason
d = 25
3+25 + 25 =
3+45
EX: For each progression that is an A.P., find the common difference d. Give a reason
for each answer. -4.3,-2.8,-1.3, .2,… Answer
.2 – -1.3 =
1.5
A.P.
Reason
d = 1.5
-4.3 + 1.5 =
-2.8
EX: For each progression that is an A.P., find the common difference d. Give a reason
for each answer. 6.2, 4.4, 2.6, 0.8,… Answer
4.4 – 6.2 =
-1.8
A.P.
Reason
d = -1.8
4.4 + -1.8 =
2.6
EX: For each progression that is an A.P., find the common difference d. Give a reason
for each answer. 5, 10, 20, 40, . . . Answer
Not A.P.
Reason
10 – 5 ≠
20 – 10
Write the next three terms of the A.P.: 1, 1, 7, 5, . . .

14.4 Geometric Sequences
OBJ: • Find terms of
geometric sequences
Geometric progressions or sequences (G.P.) have a common ratio r between each term
To find r, take any term divided by the
term before it.
EX: For each progression that is an G.P., find the common ratio r. Give a reason for
each answer. 5, 52, 10, 102,...Answer
