Arithmetic Progression

The document is a project on Arithmetic Progressions (AP) by Dhyeyaa Palrecha, acknowledging the support of teachers and outlining the concept and applications of AP in daily life. It explains AP as a sequence with a constant difference, provides practical examples such as stacking cups and stadium seating, and discusses its relevance in chemistry through homologous series. The reflection section highlights the learning experience and enhanced understanding of the subject matter.

Arithmetic

Progression
By Dhyeyaa Palrecha
I would like to express my deepest
gratitude to our teacher in the field
of mathematics Miss Vidya for her
Acknowledgement immense support and
encouragement in the completion of
this project. I would also like to
extend my heartfelt gratitude to our
director Miss Archana Vishwanath
for she has provided us the platform
and given us the opportunity to
express ourselves via this medium.

Introduction to ap
Arithmetic Progressions refer to a set of digits that may represent any
entity with constant increase or decrease in each observation with
reference to the preceding observation. Arithmetic Progressions find
application in various machinery we use on a day to day basis. This ppt
highlights few practical applications of APs.
What is an AP?
Arithmetic progression is a sequence of numbers in which the
difference between any two consecutive numbers is a constant
value. The constant value is called a common difference.
Eg: 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25………. Here the common difference is 3
3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, 33………… Here the common difference is 5
19, 14, 9, 4, -1, -6…………….. Here the common difference is -5

Formula related to an AP : aₙ = a + (n - 1)d


Sₙ = n/2 [2a (n - 1)d]
How we use AP in our
daily life
Stacking cups
If the first row of cups have 7 cups, the next row will have 6 cups, and
then 5 cups and then 4 cups and then 3 cups and then 2 cups and finally
1 cup.

First term: 7
Common difference: -1
Arithmetic Progression: 7,6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Seats in a cricket stadium
The first row of seats in a stadium always have the least number of seats as it is
smallest circle. Every row the number of seats keep increasing, and the maximum
number of seats are in the last row.
If the first row has 50 seats, the second row will have 60 seats and the third row
will have 70 seats and so on.

First Term: 50
Common difference: 10
AP: 50, 60, 70, 80, 90……………….

If the stadium has 8 rows of seating, the how many seats will the 8th row have ?
We can find the answer using the above AP.
The eighth term of the AP is the number of seats that are in the eighth row of the
stadium.
50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120
Therefore the eighth row has 120 seats.
Stacking chairs
When we stack chairs we put one over the other, so we add one chair each time.
We can calculate how many chairs we would've stacked if we repeat this action 7
times. The answer will be the 7th term of the AP formed.

First Term: 1
Common Difference: 1
AP: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9…………….

Therefore we would have stacked 7 chairs once we repeat the action seven times.
HOMOLOGOUS SERIES
● Homologous series increase see a constant increase in the number of atoms from the
first compound onwards
● In the covalent compound series of Alkanes the first compound methane has 5 atoms
and atoms increase in sets of three to other compounds of ethane, propane, butane
etc.
● Here, the first observation is 5 (1C + 4H), common difference is 3
● Hence, the AP formed is 5,8,11,14,17…..
REFLECTION
● While doing this project and researching about the same I learnt
about the various practical applications of arithmetic progressions and
how they are seen in our daily life.
● I understood other concepts related to chemistry more clearly by
finding a relation of them to mathematics.
● It helped me develop a keen interest in this field and improved my
comprehension of the same.
● The project put to test my knowledge of mathematical concept of
arithmetic progressions.
