C. Learning Materials
1. Sequence

A sequence is a sequence of members of an association based on a certain

rule. Each member of the set is sorted in order first, second, and so on. To express the
order nth term of a notated sequence 𝑼𝒏 . A sequence can also be defined as a function
of natural numbers or a function whose domain is the set of natural numbers. So that
𝑈𝑛 = 𝑓(𝑛) .
Suppose 𝑈𝑛 = (2𝑛 + 1) , then the 4th term of the line is:
𝑈𝑛 = (2(4) + 1) = 9

 Arithmetic Sequence
An arithmetic sequence is a line where the value of each term is obtained from the
previous term by addition or subtraction by a number b. The difference between the
values of adjacent terms is always the same, namely b. So that :
𝑼𝒏 − 𝑼(𝒏−𝟏) = 𝒃

To find out the value of the nth term of an arithmetic sequence, it can be found by
knowing the value of the k-term and the difference between adjacent terms (b). the
following formula:

𝑼𝒏 = 𝑼𝒌 + (𝒏 − 𝒌)𝒃

or :

𝑼𝒏 = 𝒂 + (𝒏 − 𝟏)𝒃

 Geometric Sequence
A geometric sequence is a line where the value of each term is obtained from the
previous term by multiplying by a number r. The ratio or ratio between the value of
the term and the value of the previous term that is close to each other is always the
same, namely r. So that:
𝑼𝒏
=𝒓
𝑼(𝒏−𝟏)
 To find out the value of the nth term of a geometric sequence, it can be found by
knowing the value of the k-term and the ratio between adjacent terms (r). The
formula is as follows:

𝑼𝒏 = 𝒂 . 𝒓(𝒏−𝟏)

2. Series
The sum of the terms of a sequence is called a series. The summation of
these terms can be made in the form of sigma. The sequence of the terms U1, U2, U3,…,
Un expressed in the function f (n) = Un has a series as:
𝒏

𝑼𝟏 + 𝑼𝟐 + 𝑼𝟑 + ⋯ + 𝑼𝒏 = ∑ 𝑼𝒊
𝒊=𝟏

 Arithmetic Series
An arithmetic series is the sum of the terms of an arithmetic sequence. The sum of
the first terms to the nth term of the arithmetic sequence can be calculated as:
𝑺𝒏 = 𝑼𝟏 + 𝑼𝟐 + 𝑼𝟑 + ⋯ + 𝑼(𝒏−𝟏)

Or as :

𝑺𝒏 = 𝒂 + (𝒂 + 𝒃) + (𝒂 + 𝟐𝒃) + ⋯ + (𝒂 + (𝒏 − 𝟐)𝒃) + (𝒂 + (𝒏 − 𝟏)𝒃)

If only the a value is known in the first term and the value is the nth term, then the
arithmetic series value is:
𝒏
𝑺𝒏 = (𝒂 + 𝑼𝒏 )
𝟐
or :
𝒏
𝑺𝒏 = (𝟐𝒂 + (𝒏 − 𝟏)𝒃)
𝟐

 Geometric Series

A geometric series is the sum of terms from a geometric sequence. The sum of the
first term to the nth term of the geometric sequence can be calculated as:

𝑺𝒏 = 𝑼𝟏 + 𝑼𝟐 + 𝑼𝟑 + ⋯ + 𝑼𝒏−𝟏 + 𝑼𝒏
 If only known that the value of a is the first term and the value of Un is the nth term,
then the geometric series value is:

(𝟏−𝒓𝒏 )
𝑺𝒏 = 𝒂 with the provision of 0 < r < 1
(𝟏−𝒓)

Or :

(𝒓𝒏 −𝟏)
𝑺𝒏 = 𝒂 (𝒓−𝟏)
with the provision of r > 1.

 Infinite Series

A geometric series can add terms to infinity. An infinite geometric series consists
of 2 types, namely convergent and divergent. An infinite geometric series converges
when the summation of the terms leads to or approaches a certain number.
Meanwhile, it is divergent if the addition of the terms is unlimited.
An infinite geometric series is said to be convergent and has a sum if and only if
| r | <1.
An infinite geometric series is said to be divergent if and only if | r | ≥ 1. Divergent
series has no number.
Look again at the formula for the partial sum of the first n terms of the following
geometric series :
𝒂(𝟏 − 𝒓𝒏 )
𝑺𝒏 = 𝒓≠𝟏
𝟏−𝒓

"The sum of an infinite series is a value for Sn (the partial number of the series),
as n increases to infinity.

In other words, the sum of an infinite series is the limit of the partial number of the
series. In limit notation we write:

𝑺 = 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝑺𝒏
𝒏→∞
 Thus, the sum of the infinite geometric series can be expressed as:

𝒂(𝟏 − 𝒓𝒏 )
𝑆 = 𝐥𝐢𝐦
𝒏→∞ 𝟏−𝒓

If | r | <1 then the limit from 𝑟 𝑛 for n towards infinity will equal zero.

As a result :

𝒂(𝟏 − 𝒓𝒏 ) 𝒂
𝑺 = 𝐥𝐢𝐦 =
𝒏→∞ 𝟏−𝒓 𝟏−𝒓

Then :

𝒂
𝑺=
𝟏−𝒓

problems example :

1. An arithmetic series has the 5th term equal to 42, and the 8th term equal to 15. The
sum of the first 12 terms of the series is?

Discussion:

Noted that 𝑈5 = 42 , 𝑈8 = 15 , then the formula can be used:

𝑼𝒏 = 𝑼𝒌 + (𝒏 − 𝒌)𝒃

where :
So that :
𝑈8 = 𝑈5 + (8 − 5)𝑏
𝑈5 = 42
𝑈12 = 𝑎 + (𝑛 − 1)𝑏
15 = 42 + (8 − 5)𝑏
𝑎 + (5 − 1)(−9) = 42
𝑈12 = 78 + (12 − 1)(−9)
3𝑏 = −27
𝑎 − 36 = 42 𝑈12 = 78 − 99

𝑏 = −9 𝑈12 = −21
𝑎 = 78
Obtained :

𝑛 12
𝑆12 = (𝑎 + 𝑈𝑛) = (78 + (−21)) = 6 × 57 = 342
2 2
2. Count the number of infinite series below!
1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ...

Discussion :
1
a = 1 dan r = 2

The number of infinite series is:

𝑎 1
𝑆= = =2
1−𝑟 1
1−2

3. In a geometric series it is known that the first term is 3 and the 9 term is 768. The 7
term of the series is…

Discussion :

Is known :
a=3
𝑈9 = 768
Asked : 𝑈7 ?
Answer :
Before we find the value of 𝑈7 , we will find the value of r first.
Recall that 𝑈𝑛 = 𝑎𝑟 𝑛−1 . So that 𝑈9 can be written to be

So that ,

So, the 7th term of the series is 192.

 4. The arithmetic sequence is known : 4,1,−2,−5,⋯. The 10th term of the line is ...

Discussion :

Is known:
a=4
b = −3
therefore :
𝑈𝑛 = 𝑎 + (𝑛 − 1)𝑏
𝑈10 = 4 + (10 − 1)(−3)
𝑈10 = 4 + (9)(−3)
𝑈10 = 4 − 27
𝑈10 = −23
So, the 10th term of the arithmetic sequence is −23

5. Given a geometric sequence 3, 6, 12 ... then the seventh term of the geometric
sequence ...

Discussion :
Is known :
a=3
r=2
𝑈𝑛 = 𝑎𝑟 𝑛−1
𝑈7 = (3)(2)7−1
𝑈7 = (3)(64)
𝑈7 = 192
