A series is finite or infinite according as the number of terms in the be written as a nth term of this AP
corresponding sequence is finite or infinite. tn = a + (n - 1)d, where d = an - an-1
Progressions: It is not necessarily that the terms of a sequence always The sum of the first n terms the AP is given by
follow a certain pattern or they are described by some explicit formula for
the nth term. Those sequences whose terms follow certain patterns are
called progressions.

Where l is the last term.

Properties of Arithmetic Progression

1. 3 numbers in AP are a - d, a, a + d;
4 numbers in AP are a - 3d, a - d, a + d, a + 3d;
5 numbers in AP are a - 2d, a - d, a, a + d, a + 2d;
2. The sum of the two terms of an AP equidistant from the
beginning & end is constant and equal to the sum of first &
last terms.
3. Any term of an AP (except the first) is equal to half the sum of
terms which are equidistant from it. an=½(an-k + an+k), k < n.
4. tr = Sr - Sr-1
 Sequence & Series Geometric Progression (GP)
In the sequence of non-zero terms, if each terms bears the same
constant ratio with its immediately preceding term, then that
sequence is called as Geometric progression and this constant
Arithmetic Mean ratio is called as Common Ratio (r).
General Form of a G.P.
If three terms are in AP then the middle term is called the AM
between the other two, so if a, b, c, are in AP, b is AM of a & c.
AM for any n positive number a1, a2, …………., an is; Where, first term = ‘a’ & common ratio = ‘r’
General Term of a G.P.
nth term = a rn-1

Sum of the 1st n terms i.e.

n-Arithmetic Means between Two Numbers
If a, b are any two given numbers & a, A1, A2, …….., A2, b are in
AP then A1, A2, ………., An are in AM’s between a & bv.

Properties of Geometric Progression

1. If a, b, c are in G.P., then

2. If a, b, c, ………… are in G.P., then

ka, kb, kc, ……. (where k ≠ 0) … are in G.P.
3. If a, b, c, ………… are in G.P., then

4. If a, b, c, ……….. Are in G.P., then

Ak, bk, ck, ………… are also in G.P.
 Sequence & Series
Relation between AM & GM
Let A and G be arithmetic and geometric means of two positive
Geometric Mean numbers a and b. Then,

If a, b ∈ R and n ∈ N, then

• Remarks: If the index of the binomial is n then the
expansion contains n + 1 terms. Binomial Theorem
• in each term, the sum of indices of a and b is always n.
• Coefficients of the terms in binomial expansion equidistant

General and middle terms in the expansion of

The general term of an expansion (a+b)n is Binomial Theorem for any index
Tr+1 = nCr a n-rbr, 0 ≤ r ≤ n, r ∈ N If n is negative integer, then n! Is not defined. We state
Middle Terms: binomial theorem in another form
1. In(a + b)n, if n is even, then the no. of terms in the
expansion is odd.
Therefore, there is only one middle term and it is
(n+2/2)th term.
2. In (a + b)n, if n is odd then the no. of terms in the
expansion is even. Therefore, there are two middle
terms and those are (n+1/2)th and (n+3/2)th terms.
Binomial Coefficients

1. Quadratic Expression: The general form of a Quadratic Equation
quadratic expression in x is, f(x) = ax2 + bx + c,
where a, b, c ∈ R & a ≠ 0 and general form of a
quadratic equation in x is, ax2 + bx + c = 0,
where a, b, c ∈ R & a ≠ 0. 2. Roots of Quadratic Equation:
(a) The solution of the quadratic equation,

ax2 + bx + c = 0 is given by
3. Nature of Roots:
(a) Consider the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 where The expression D = b2 - 4ac is called the
a, b, c ∈ R & a ≠ 0 then; discriminant of the quadratic equation.
(i) D > 0 ⇔ roots are real & distinct (unequal).
(b) If ⍺ & β are the roots of the quadratic equation
(ii) D = 0 ⇔ roots are real & coincident (equal).
ax2 + bx + c = 0, then ;
(iii) D < 0 ⇔ roots are imaginary.
(i) ⍺ + β = -b/a (ii) ⍺ β = c/a
(iv) If p + i q is one root of a quadratic equation, then the
other must be the conjugate p - i q & vice versa. (iii)
(p, q ∈ R & i = √-1).
(b) Consider the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 where (c) A quadratic equation whose roots are ⍺ & β is (x - ⍺)
a, b, c ∈ Q & a ≠ 0 then; (x - β) = 0
(i) If D > 0 & is a perfect square, then roots are rational & i.e., x2 - (⍺ + β)x + ⍺β = 0
unequal.
(ii) If ⍺ = p + √q is one root in this case, (where p is i.e., x2 - (sum of roots)x + product of roots = 0
rational & √q is a surd) then the other root must be the
conjugate of it i.e. β = p - √q & vice versa.
4. Location of Roots: Lwr f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, Quadratic Equation
where a > 0 & a, b, c ∈ R.
(i) Conditions for both the roots of f(x) = 0 to be
greater than a specified number ‘k’ are:
D ≥ 0 & f(k) > 0 & (-b/2a) > k.
(ii) Conditions for both roots of f(x) = 0 to lie on
either side of the number ‘k’ (in other words the
number ‘k’ lies between the roots of f(x) = 0 is:
af(k) < 0.
(iii) Conditions for exactly one root of f(x) = 0 to lie 5. Common Roots:
in the interval (k1, k2) i.e. k1 < x < k2 are: (a) Only One Common Root
D > 0 & f(k1) . f(k2) < 0. Let ⍺ be the common root of ax2 + bx + c = 0 & a’x2 + b’x + c’ = 0,
(iv) Conditions that both roots of f(x) = 0 to be such that a, a’ ≠ 0 and ab’ ≠ a’b.
confined between the numbers k1 & k2 are Then, the condition for one common root is:
(k1 < k2): (ca’ - c’a)2 = (ab’ - a’b) (bc’ - b’c).
D ≥ 0 & f(k1) > 0 & f(k2) > 0 & k1 < (-b/2a) < k2. (b) Two Common Roots
Let ⍺, β be the two common roots of ax2 + bx + c = 0 &
a’x2 + b’x + c’ = 0, such that a, a’ ≠ 0.
Then, the condition for two common root is:
