The document discusses two arithmetic sequences:
1) 3,6,12,24,48,96,... where each term is double the previous term.
2) 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,... where each term is the sum of the two previous terms.
It provides examples of how to determine the pattern/common difference that defines an arithmetic sequence and calculates subsequent terms.
6. “The GSC Water District will impose a new
minimum charge of P150 for first 10 cubic
meters and additional charge of P20 for
every cubic meter in excess of the
minimum effective June 2011…”

17. Definition: Arithmetic Sequence
An arithmetic sequence is a
sequence in which each term after the
first is obtained by adding the same
fixed number, called the common
difference, to the preceding term.
18. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,…
•The terms are obtain by
adding 1 to each
succeeding terms.
The common difference is
d=1
19. 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,…
•The terms are obtain by
adding 5 to each
succeeding terms.
The common difference is
d=5
20. 5, 2, -1, -4, -7, -10,…
•The terms are obtain by
adding –3 to each
succeeding terms.
The common difference is
d = -3
