Donut Rewards: Arithmetic Sequence Explained

The presentation discusses a rewards system for buying donuts, which follows an arithmetic sequence where each donut purchased earns an additional 4 points starting from 10 points for the first donut. The general formula for the nth term of points earned is provided, and calculations show that the 15th donut earns 66 points, leading to a total of 570 points for buying 15 donuts. The reflection emphasizes the relevance of mathematical patterns in everyday life and the importance of accurate calculations.

MATH
EXPLANATIONS: •Welcome to my presentation on
the 'Donut Number Garden'! My
chosen scenario is a rewards
system where you earn points for
buying donuts, and the pattern of
points earned follows an arithmetic
sequence.
MATH
•An arithmetic sequence is a pattern
where the difference between each
EXPLANATIONS: consecutive term is constant. In this
case, for every donut purchased, you
earn an additional 4 points. This constant
increase is called the common difference
(d), and in our sequence, d = 4.

•The first donut you buy gets


you 10 points. This is our first
term, or a_1 = 10.
MATH
•To find the number of points for any
donut purchase, we can use the

EXPLANATION: general formula for arithmetic


sequence: a_n = a_1 + (n-1) d

•Substituting the values, the


formula for our specific donut
sequence is: a_n = 10 + (n-1) 4

•We can also express this as


a_n = 4n +6
•Using this formula,
we can calculate the
points for the 15th
donut (a_15) .

•Therefore, the 15th donut


you buy will earn you 66
points.
To find the total points earned for buying the first 15
donuts, we use the formula for the sum of an
arithmetic sequence:
USING KNOWN VALUES:

THIS MEANS THAT


AFTER BUYING 15
DONUTS, THE TOTAL
NUMBER OF POINTS
YOU HAVE EARNED IS
570 POINTS.
MY VISUAL REPRESENTATION SHOWS HOW
THE POINTS INCREASE BY 4 WITH EACH
DONUT, AND THE FORMULAS AND
CALCULATIONS CONFIRM THIS PATTERN,
DEMONSTRATING HOW SEQUENCES AND
SERIES ARE USED TO MODEL REAL-WORLD
SCENARIOS LIKE THIS REWARDS SYSTEM.

REFLECTION
PARAGRAPH
REFLECTION PARAGRAPH:

I‎ CHOSE THE 'DONUT NUMBER GARDEN' SCENARIO BECAUSE


SPECIFICALLY WITHIN A CUSTOMER REWARDS PROGRAM, IT IS
A RELATABLE WITH A PRACTICAL EXAMPLE OF HOW
MATHEMATICAL PATTERNS EXIST IN EVERYDAY LIFE. AS IT
FOLLOWS AN ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE, THIS SYSTEM SHOWS A
PATTERN IN WHICH POINTS INCREASE CONSTANTLY FOR EACH
DONUT THAT IS BOUGHT, TEN POINTS ARE THE INITIAL TERM
(A_1). SO THEN THE DIFFERENCE WHICH IS COMMON (D) IS 4
POINTS.
REFLECTION PARAGRAPH:

MATHEMATICS WAS NECESSARY IN THIS PROBLEM'S SOLUTION SINCE IT


GAVE FORMULAS CALCULATING PRECISELY A TERM'S VALUE PLUS THE SUM
OF SOME TERMS.

I DETERMINED THAT THE 15TH DONUT IS WORTH 66 POINTS THROUGH USING


THE GENERAL FORMULA FOR THE NTH TERM.

T‎ HE TOTAL OF THE POINTS EARNED FOR THE ACTION OF BUYING 15 DONUTS


IS 570 USING THE FORMULA FOR THE SUM OF AN ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE.

‎ TO CAREFULLY DOUBLE-CHECK EACH STEP FOR CONFIRMING OF THE FINAL


ANSWERS LET ME TO OVERCOME FOR ENSURING ALL OF THE CALCULATIONS
WERE ACCURATE.
