Introduction of Arithmetic Progression

Introduction of Arithmetic Progression

 

Arithmetic Progression: An arithmetic progression is a list of numbers in which each term is obtained by adding a fixed number to the preceding term except the first term.  

Examples:

(a) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ...................................... 

(b)  2, 5, 8, 11, 14 ..................................

(c)  50, 45, 40, 35 .....................................

(d)  -10, -4, 2, 8 .........................................

In above examples, each of the numbers in the list is called a term. Each term is obtained by adding a fixed number except the first term. And we can write other next term by adding same fixed number. This fixed number is called the common difference of the AP. 

In other words, A list of numbers which has same common difference will be said Arithmetic progression

  • Each number of an arithmetic progression is called term
  • The first number of A.P is called first term.
  • The last term of A.P is called final term
  • Difference between two consicutive terms of an A.P is known as common difference
