3 Concept Maps

Arithmetic Progressions Problem-Solving Decision Tree

Arithmetic Progressions Problem-Solving Decision Tree

The map in words

  • Given Information
    • What do you need to find?
      • nth term aₙ: Do you know:
        • First term 'a' AND common difference 'd: Use aₙ = a + n-1d
          • Verify your answer
            • Solution
      • Sum of n terms Sₙ: Do you know:
        • a, d, and n: Use Sₙ = n/2[2a + n-1d
        • a, l (last term), and n: Use Sₙ = n/2 a + l
      • Common difference d: Subtract any term from next term
      • Check if AP: Calculate differences between consecutive terms
        • All differences equal: This is an AP
        • Differences differ: Not an AP
      • Number of terms n: Rearrange aₙ formula to solve for n

Arithmetic Progressions — Complete Concept Map

Arithmetic Progressions — Complete Concept Map

The map in words

  • Arithmetic Progressions
    • Definition
      • List of numbers
      • Fixed common difference d
      • General form a, a+d, a+2d
    • Identifying an AP
      • Find consecutive differences
      • All differences must be equal
      • d can be positive negative or zero
    • nth Term Formula
      • an = a + n-1 times d
      • a is first term
      • n is term position
      • Used to find any term
      • Used to find which term
    • Sum Formula
      • Sn = n divided by 2 times 2a plus n-1 times d
      • Sn = n divided by 2 times a plus l
      • Use first when d is known
      • Use second when last term is known
    • Special Results
      • an = Sn minus Sn-1
      • AM of a and c is a+c divided by 2
      • Three terms use a-d, a, a+d
    • Types of AP
      • Increasing when d is positive
      • Decreasing when d is negative
      • Constant when d equals zero
      • Finite has a last term
      • Infinite has no last term
