    Arithmetic Sequence Worksheet

    Understanding Arithmetic Sequences

    Definition: An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers in which each term


    after the first is obtained by adding a constant, called the common
    difference, to the preceding one.

    Example: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, ... is an arithmetic sequence with a common


    difference of 3.

    Practice Problems

    I. Identify the Common Difference Determine the common difference for


    each arithmetic sequence.

    1. 3, 7, 11, 15, ...


    2. -5, -2, 1, 4, ...
    3. 12, 9, 6, 3, ...
    4. 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, ...

    II. Finding the Next Terms Write the next three terms for each arithmetic
    sequence.

    1. 2, 9, 16, ...
    2. -4, -1, 2, ...
    3. 100, 95, 90, ...
    4. 1/2, 1, 3/2, ...

    III. Finding Missing Terms Find the missing terms in each arithmetic
    sequence.

    1. _, 7, 12, _
    2. -3, _, 5, ...
    3. 20, _, _, 5
    4. 1/4, _, 3/4, ...
    IV. Using the Formula The nth term of an arithmetic sequence can be
    found using the formula: a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d where:

    a_n is the nth term


    a_1 is the first term
    n is the number of the term
    d is the common difference

    Use the formula to find the indicated term for each arithmetic sequence.

    1. Find the 10th term of 3, 8, 13, ...


    2. Find the 20th term of -2, 1, 4, ...
    3. Find the 50th term of 100, 97, 94, ...

    V. Word Problems

    1. A gym membership costs $30 to join and $25 per month. Write an
    arithmetic sequence to represent the total cost for the first six months.
    2. A ball is dropped from a height of 10 meters. On each bounce, it
    rebounds to 80% of its previous height. Write an arithmetic sequence to
    represent the heights of the first four bounces.

    Challenge Problem

    Find the sum of the first 50 terms of the arithmetic sequence: 2, 7, 12, 17, ...
