Arithmetic Progression: Presented To: Miss Ritu

An arithmetic progression is a sequence of numbers where the difference between consecutive terms is constant. The initial term is called a1 and the common difference is called d. The nth term (an) of an arithmetic progression is given by the formula an = a1 + (n - 1)d. This formula was derived because each subsequent term is created by adding the common difference d to the previous term. The document provides an example of an arithmetic progression with a1 = 4 and d = 3, yielding the sequence 4, 7, 10, 13, etc. It also states that the sum of terms in an arithmetic progression can be determined with a specific formula.

Arithmetic Progression

Definition
Arithmetic Progression (also called arithmetic sequence), is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between any two consecutive terms is constant. Each term therefore in an arithmetic progression will increase or decrease at a constant value called the common difference, d. Examples of arithmetic progression are: 2, 5, 8, 11,... common difference = 3 23, 19, 15, 11,... common difference = -4

INTRODUCTION
In mathematics, an arithmetic progression (AP) or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant. For instance, the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, is an arithmetic progression with common difference 2.

INTIAL TERM
If the initial term of an arithmetic progression is a1 and the common difference of successive members is d, then the nth term of the sequence is given by: We want a sequence of numbers. Let's start with a number: a1. Now add a number d, (for "difference"). We get a1 + d and the first 2 terms in our sequence are: a1, a1 + d For the next term, let's add d to that last term and we have a1 + 2d. Our sequence is now: a1, a1 + d, a1 + 2d We continue this process for as long as we can stay awake. The resulting set of numbers is called an arithmetic progression (AP) or arithmetic sequence.

EXAMPLE
Let's start with a1 = 4 and then add d = 3 each time to get each new number in the sequence. We get:

an

= a1 + (n -1)d

4, 7, 10, 13, The nth term, an of an AP is:
