What to Focus On

  • A sequence is an ordered arrangement of numbers.
  • Terms are written as t1, t2, t3, ... and tn for the nth term.
  • A sequence is studied when there is a rule for getting the next term.
  • Common difference d is constant in an A.P.
  • d may be positive, negative, or zero.
  • The general form of an A.P. is a, (a + d), (a + 2d), ...
  • Use tn = a + (n - 1)d for the nth term.
  • First find a and d before applying the formula.
  • If n is not a natural number, the number is not a term of the A.P.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any sequence with a pattern is an Arithmetic Progression.

The common difference in an A.P. must be positive.

When finding the nth term, students use t(n) = a + nd.
