Arithmetic Progression: Questions Bank and Complete Notes
introduction
An arithmetic progression (A.P.) is a sequence in which the common difference—a constant value—separates every term from the one before it. Fundamental in mathematics and with many uses in economics, physics, and daily computations, this idea is present in all
Definition of an arithmetic progression
An arithmetic progression is a sequence in which the difference between adjacent terms is constant.
Overall Structure
a, a + d, a + 2 d, a + 3 d, \dots
= first phrase
= common differential
= the phrase count
+ last term
Key Equations
Nth Term, sometimes known as General Term
a_n = a + d (n-1).
Total of first terms
S_n = n divided by two [2a + d(n-1).
S_n = n/2 [A + l]
Common Calculation of Differentials
d = a_ 2 less a_ 1.
Main Ideas and Uses
1. Finding Missing Terms: The common difference allows one to determine the missing terms from given terms.
2. Verifying if a sequence follows A.P. rules. It is an arithmetic progression if the variances between consecutive terms are constant.
3. Uses in the Real World –
Financial planning: computing loan payback times.
Physics: Problems with uniform motion.
Business – Forecasting trends of sales increase.
The nth-term formula allows one to find the entire count of terms in an A.P. by means of another.
