What to Focus On

  • A sequence is an arrangement of numbers according to a rule.
  • A progression is a sequence that follows a certain rule.
  • In A.P., the difference between consecutive terms is constant.
  • The first term is represented by a.
  • The common difference is represented by d.
  • The nth term of an A.P. is Tn = a + (n-1)d.
  • The last term of a finite A.P. is l = a + (n-1)d.
  • The formula works for any position in the pattern.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The common difference of an A.P. is found by subtracting the next term from the previous term.

The nth term of an A.P. is a + nd.

The nth term from the end of an A.P. is found using the same formula as the nth term from the beginning.
