Basic Ideas and Definitions

  • A sequence arranged according to a certain rule is called a sequence.
  • The sequence that follows certain rule is called a progression.
  • An arithmetic progression has a constant difference between consecutive terms.
2

Arithmetic Progression and Its Formulas

  • The first term of an A.P. is represented by a.
  • The common difference of an A.P. is represented by d.
