Arithmetic Mean 4

The document discusses arithmetic means and sequences. It provides definitions and formulas for determining if a sequence is arithmetic, finding the common difference, and calculating the sum of terms in an arithmetic sequence. The arithmetic mean (or average) of two numbers x and y is given by (x + y)/2. To insert arithmetic means between two numbers, first find the common difference. The sum of an arithmetic sequence Sn can be calculated with the formulas Sn = (a1 + an) or Sn = 2a1 + (n-1)d, where n is the number of terms, a1 is the first term, an is the last term, and d is the common difference. Worked examples demonstrate how to use the formulas

In an arithmetic sequence , all terms between any two terms are


called the arithmetic means of these two terms. In the arithmetic
sequence 4 , 8 ,q2 , 16, 20, the terms 8, 12 and 16 are the three
arithmetic means between 4 and 20.
Illustrative Example:
1. Insert 3 arithmetic means between 18 and 30.
Solution: To solve for d, you may use the formula
d= = =
18 , ____ , _____, _____, 30
21 24 27
2. Insert 4 arithmetic mean between 7 and 37.
solution : solve for d.
d= = =6 Thus the
four terms are 7 , , 37
13 , 19 , 25 , 31
3. Find the arithmetic mean between 8 and 20.
SOLUTION: The arithmetic mean between two numbers is also called the
average of the two numbers.
x=

4. Find the arithmetic mean of 9 and 21.


Solution: x = = = 15
5. Find a.m. between a and 17a
Solution: x =

a. first 20 terms of the b. integers from 1 to 50
arithmetic sequence -16 , -20 , -24 , Solution: given n = 50 , a1 = 1 , an
….. = 50
Solution: given n = 20 , a1 = -16 , d -4 Formula: Sn = a1 + an]
Formula: Sn = 2a1 + (n- 1 )d] S50 = 1 +50]
S20 = 2(-16) + (20- 1 )-4] S50 = 25[ 51]
S20 = 10 [ -32 + (19)-4] S50 = 1275
S20 = 10 [ -32 – 76 ]
S20 = 10 [ - 108 ]
S20 = -1080
S20 = -1080
Example 2. The sum of the first 10 terms of an Example 3. The third of an arithmetic
arithmetic sequence is 530. What is the first term sequence is -12 and the seventh term is 8.
if the last term is 80. What is the sum of the first 10 terms.
Solution:
Solution:
Given: a3 = -12 , a7 = 8 , n = 10
Given: Sn = 530 , n = 10 , an = 80 a1 =
________ First find d and a1 , a10
Formula : Sn = (a1 + an ) d= , an = a1 + ( n – 1) d
S10 = (a1 + 80 )
d= 8 = a1 + ( 7 – 1 ) 5
530 = 5 (a1 + 80 ) d=5 8 = a1 = ( 6 ) 5
530 = 5a1 + 400 8 – 30 = a1
530 – 400 = 5a1 -22 = a1
= a1 a10 = a1 +( n - 1) d S10 = (a1 + an )
a10 = -22 + ( 10 -1 ) 5 = ( - 22 +
23 )
26 = a1 a10 = -22 + ( 9 ) 5 = 5 ( 1)
a10 = -22 + 45 = 5
a = 23
SUMMARY:
Arithmetic Mean ( or Average) of the numbers x and y is given by
x=
To insert 3 or more arithmetic mean between two numbers , first find
the common difference.
The sum of an Arithmetic Sequence
Sn = (a1 + an ) where n= no. of terms
a1 = first term an = last term
Or
Sn = 2a1 + (n- 1 )d] , where : n = no.of terms
a1 = first term
d = common difference
