Arithmetic Progression

This document defines and provides examples of arithmetic progressions. An arithmetic progression is a sequence of numbers where the difference between consecutive terms is constant. The document explains that each term increases or decreases by the common difference. It provides the formula for calculating any term in the sequence as the initial term plus the product of the common difference and the term number minus one. An example arithmetic progression uses initial term of 4 and common difference of 3.

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:
