sequences.
To represent arithmetic sequences

A wooden post-and-rail fence with two rails is made
as shown. Find the number of pieces of wood needed
to build a 4-section fence, a 5 section fence, and a 6section fence. Suppose you want to build a fence
with 3 rails. How many pieces of wood are needed
for each size fence? Describe the pattern.
Sequence:
an ordered list of numbers that often
form a pattern.
Term of a Sequence:
Each number in the list
Problem #1: Extending Sequences

next two terms of each sequence?

Arithmetic Sequence:
A number sequence formed by adding
a fixed number to each previous term
to find the next.
Common Difference:
The fixed number added to each
previous term in an Arithmetic
Sequence

A function rule that relates each term
of a sequence after the first to the
ones before it

Objectives:
To represent arithmetic sequences

Explicit Formula:
A function rule that relates each term
of a sequence to the term number
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence with
first term A(1) and common difference d is
given by:

below. Write an explicit formula to
represent the bids as an arithmetic
sequence. What is the 12th bid?
Problem #4: Writing an Explicit Formula
B)
A subway pass has a starting value of
$100. After one ride, the value of the pass
is $98.25. After two rides, its value is
$96.50. After three rides, its value is
$94.75. Write an explicit formula to
represent the remaining value on the card
as an arithmetic sequence. What is the
value of the pass after 15 rides?

C) Using your answer from B, how many
rides can be taken with the $100
pass?
Problem #4

Justine’s grandfather puts $100 in a savings
account for her on her first birthday. He
puts $125, $150, and $175 into the account
on her next 3 birthdays. If this pattern
continues, how much will Justine’s
grandfather put in the savings account on
her 12th birthday?
Problem #5: Writing an Explicit
Formula From a Recursive Formula
A) An arithmetic sequence is represented
by the recursive formula A(n)=A(n – 1) + 12.
