Formulas and Key Relations

nth Term (General Term) of an AP

Formula

aₙ = a + (n-1)d, where a = first term, d = common difference, n = position of the term.

The last term of a finite AP is often denoted by 'l'. If the AP has m terms, then l = aₘ = a + (m-1)d.

Problem-Solving Strategies and Special Cases

ASSUMING TERMS IN AP

For 3 terms in AP, take them as (a-d), a, (a+d). Their sum = 3a, which simplifies calculations.

For 4 terms in AP, take them as (a-3d), (a-d), (a+d), (a+3d). Their sum = 4a.

For 5 terms in AP, take them as (a-2d), (a-d), a, (a+d), (a+2d). Their sum = 5a.
