CLASS X : CHAPTER - 5 ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION (AI IMPORTANT FORMULAS & CONCEPTS SEQUENCE An arrangement of numbers in a definite order according to some rule is called a sequence. In other ‘words, a pattern of numbers in which succeeding terms are obtained from the preceding term by adding/subtracting a fixed number or by multiplying with/dividing by a fixed number, is called sequence or list of numbers. eg. 123,45 A sequence is said to be finite or infinite accordingly it has finite or infinite number of terms. The various numbers occurring in a sequence are called its terms. ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION ( AP ). An arithmetic progression is a list of numbers in which each term is obtained by adding a fixed number to the preceding term except the first term. ‘This fixed number is called the common difference of the AP. It can be positive, negative or zero. Let us denote the first term of an AP by ai, second term by a, . . ., nth term by a, and the common, difference by d. Then the AP becomes at, 2, a3, - + Gn So, ay — a; =a3~a2=...= ya, =d. The general form of an arithmetic progression is given by aa+d,a+2d,a+3d,. where a is the first term and d the common difference. nth Term of an AP Let ai, a2, as, ... be an AP whose first term a; is a and the common difference is d. Then, the second term a) =a + d=a+(2-1)d the third term a; = a + d=(a +d) +d=a+2d=a+(3-1)d the fourth term as = ay +d = (a +2d) +d 3d=a+(4-1)d Looking at the pattern, we can say that the mth term a, =a +(n—1) d. So, the nth term dy of the AP with first term a and common difference d is given by a, =a +(n-1)d. a, is also called the general term of the AP. If there are m terms in the AP, then dm represents the last term which is sometimes also denoted by /. nth Term from the end of an AP Let the last term of an AP be ‘ and the common difference of an AP is ‘d’ then the nth term from the end of an AP is given by L,=l-(n-Dad.
