    The document discusses arithmetic, geometric, Fibonacci, and harmonic sequences. It also provides examples of solving problems involving sequences and series.

    Arithmetic sequences have a common difference, geometric sequences have a common ratio, Fibonacci sequences are based on the previous two terms, and harmonic sequences have reciprocals that form an arithmetic sequence.

    A sequence is a function whose domain is the set of positive integers, while a series represents the sum of the terms of a sequence.

    SEQUENCES AND SERIES

    I. Learning Competency
    Differentiate a series from a sequence (STEM_PC11SMI-Ih- 2)

    II. Objectives
    At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
    1. recall the different types of sequences and series;
    2. differentiate a series from sequence; and
    3. solve problems on sequences and series

    III. Introduction (Key Concept)


    A sequence is a function whose domain is the set of positive integers, while
    a series represents the sum of the terms of a sequence.

    Many sequences have patterns and through these patterns, you will be able to
    identify the different types of sequences.

    Arithmetic Sequence

    A sequence whose consecutive terms have a common difference is an


    arithmetic sequence.

    The sequence a1, a2, a2, ….., an is arithmetic, if there is a number d such that

    a2 – a1 = d, a3 – a2 = d, a4 – a 3 = d

    and so on. The number d is the common difference of the arithmetic sequence.

    If the nth term an of an arithmetic sequence with first term a1 and the
    common difference d is given by

    𝒂𝒏 = 𝒂𝟏 + (𝒏 − 𝟏)𝒅
    then, the associated series with n terms is given by
    𝒏 𝒏
    𝑺𝒏 = (𝒂𝟏 + 𝒂𝒏 ) or 𝑺𝒏 = {𝟐𝒂𝟏 + (𝒏 − 𝟏)𝒅}
    𝟐 𝟐

    1
    Geometric Sequence

    A sequence whose consecutive terms have a common ratio is a geometric


    sequence. The sequence a1, a2, a2, ….., an is a geometric, if there is a nonzero number
    𝒂𝟐 𝒂𝟑 𝒂𝟒
    r such that = r, = r, = r,
    𝒂𝟏 𝒂𝟐 𝒂𝟑

    The nonzero number r is the common ratio of the geometric sequence.

    If the nth term an of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and the common
    ratio r is given by 𝒂𝒏 = 𝒂𝟏 ∙ 𝒓𝒏−𝟏
    then, the associated series with n terms is given by

    𝒂𝟏 − 𝒂𝟏 𝒓𝒏 𝒂𝟏 (𝟏−𝒓𝒏 )
    𝑺𝒏 = or 𝑺𝒏 = r≠1
    𝟏−𝒓 𝟏−𝒓

    𝑺𝒏 = 𝒏𝒂𝟏 . r=1

    Moreover, the sum S of an infinite geometric series with -1< r < 1 is given by
    𝒂𝟏
    𝑺= .
    𝟏−𝒓

    However, if |𝑟| ≥ 1, then the sum of an infinite geometric series does not
    exist.

    Fibonacci Sequence

    The Fibonacci sequence is named after its discoverer, Leonardo Fibonacci.

    1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ……..

    In general, the nth term of the Fibonacci sequence is given by

    𝒂𝒏 = 𝒂𝒏−𝟏 + 𝒂𝒏−𝟐 where 𝒂𝟏 = 𝒂𝟐 = 𝟏


    Harmonic Sequence

    A sequence a2, a2, ….., an is a Harmonic if their reciprocals
