What to Focus On

  • An AP has a fixed common difference.
  • The first term is denoted by a.
  • The common difference is denoted by d.

  • Check the difference between every pair of consecutive terms.
  • A constant difference means AP.
  • Changing differences mean not AP.

  • Common difference is the same for every pair of consecutive terms in an AP.
  • It is found by subtracting the previous term from the next term.
  • A negative common difference means the sequence decreases.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any pattern that increases in a regular-looking way is an AP.

Prime numbers form an AP because they appear in a neat order.

The common difference is found by dividing terms, not subtracting them.
