What to Focus On

  • Successive terms are obtained by adding a fixed number.
  • The common difference may be positive, negative, or zero.
  • The general form is a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, ...

  • Check consecutive differences to test an AP.
  • Use d = a(k+1) - ak.
  • Subtract the earlier term from the next term.

  • Use a_n = a + (n - 1)d to find any term.
  • a_n is also called the general term.
  • The last term may be written as l.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The common difference is found by subtracting the earlier term from the later term in any order.

An AP must always increase, so any decreasing or constant list cannot be an AP.

To identify an AP, it is enough to know only the first term or only the common difference.
