Arithmetic Progression

• We can define an arithmetic progression in two

ways:
• An arithmetic progression is a sequence where the
differences between every two consecutive
terms are the same.
• An arithmetic progression is a sequence where
each term, except the first term, is obtained by
adding a fixed number to its previous term.
• Formula For A.P: an =a+(n-1)d

 Arithmetic Progression
• For example, 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, …
Has:
• a = 1 (the first term)
• d = 4 (the "common difference" between terms)
• In general an arithmetic sequence can be written
like: {a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d, ... }
• Using the above example we get: {a, a+d, a+2d,
a+3d, ... } = {1, 1+4, 1+2×4, 1+3×4, ... } = {1, 5,
9, 13, ... }

Rs. 3250 by paying Rs. 20 in the first month
and then he increases the payment by Rs. 15
