  1. ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION Prepared by, BHAGYALAKSHMI S
  2. Sequence A list of numbers having specific relation between the consecutive terms is generally called a sequence. Examples : 3,5,7,... (each term is obtained by adding 2 to the previous term). 4,8, 16,32,... (each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 2). ,2,3,5,8,... (Fibonacci sequence). (Alternating sequence of I and-I).
  3. Arithmetic Sequence or Arithmetic Progression(AP) Terms are formed by adding a fixed number to the previous term or the difference between two successive terms is a fixed number. This fixed number is called the common difference (d). • It can be positive, negative or zero. Let the terms in the AP be al , a-2 , an. Then, — al = — = an —an-1= d Let al = a. So AP can be represented as: a, a +d, a+2d, a+3d, . a is the first term and d is the common difference.
  4. AP Example 1,2,3,4,... each term is I more than the term preceding it. each term is 30 less than the term preceding it. 3,—2,—1,0,... each term is obtained by adding I to the term preceding it. 3,3,3,3,... each term is obtained by adding (or subtracting) O to the term preceding it.
  5. Example Problem I ? Write the first four terms of the AP when the first term a and the common difference d are given as follows: a =4, d=—3. Solution: First term: al = a = 4 Second term: a-2 = a+d = 3) = I Third term: = a-2 3) = 2 Fourth term: = +d = —2+( 3) — 5 Thus, the first four terms are:
  6. nth term of an AP The terms of an AP are, a is the first term and d is the common difference. The first term is: al = a The second term is. = a +d The third term is: ag = a +2d The nth term is: an — a+(n—l)d
  7. Example Problem 2 ? Find the 10th term of the AP: 2,7,12,... Solution: Here, (1=7 2=5 The formula for the nth term of an AP is: an = Substituting the values: = = 2+45-47 Therefore, the 10th term of the given AP is 47.
  8. Example Problem 3 ? Check whether 50 is a term in the AP: 5,10,15,20,... Solution: First term a = 5 and Common difference d = 10—5 = 5 To check whether 50 is a term in the AP, we use the formula for the nth term of an AP: Substitute the values: an = a+(n—l)d 50 = 50-5 45 = 50-1) n 1=9 n Therefore, 50 is the 10th term of the given AP.
  9. Sum of first n terms of an AP Let the terms of the arithmetic progression (AP) be: a, a +d, a+2d,... The n-th term of this AP is: an = a+(n—l)d Let S denote the sum of the first n terms of the AP Rewriting the terms in reverse order: (1) (2)
  10. Sum of first n terms of an AP contd. Adding equations (l) and (2) term-wise: Simplifying each term: Since every pair adds up to 2a + (n — l)d, there are n terms of this form, so we have: Dividing both sides by 2: Sn = — [2a+(n— 2 l)dl
  11. Sum of first n terms of an AP contd. Split 2a as, a+a Substitute into the equation• S Sn = [a+a+(n—l)d] 2 We have, an = a l)d Group the terms: Sn = [a+a+(n 2 Sn = — [a + an ] 2
  12. Example problem 4 ? Find the sum of the first 22 terms of the AP: Here, a = 8, d = 3—8 =—5, and n =22. We know that the sum of the first n terms of an AP is given by the formula: 2 Substitute the values a = 8, d = —5, and n - [2(8) + = 22 = 11[16-105] S22 = Il S22 — —979 herefore, the sum of the first 22 terms of the given AP is —979.
  13. l, 2,3,...,n is an AP where, Sum of the first n natural numbers an = n a (first term), d = I (common difference). The sum of the first n terms of an AP is given by the formula: Sn = — [a + an ] Where an is the n-th term 2 Substituting a = I and an = n into the sum formula: here, Sn = — (1+n) 2 Thus, the sum of the first n natural numbers is: n(n+l) 2
  14. Example Problem 5 ? If the sum of the first 14 terms of an AP is 1050 and its first term is 10, find the 20th term. Solution: Given, S14 = 1050, n -14, a=10 We use the formula for the sum of the first n terms of an AP, 2 Substituting the known values: = [2(10) + (14 -l)d] 1050 = 7[20+13d] 1050 = 140+91d
  15. Example Problem 5 contd. Simplifying: 1050-140 = 91d 910= Now, we find the 20th term using the formula for the n-th term of an AP: an = a+(n—l)d Substituting a = 10, d = 10, and n = 20 = 10+190 = 200 Therefore, the 20th term of the AP is 200.
  16. Example Problem 6 ? Find the sum of the first 24 terms of the list of numbers whose n-th term is given by an = 3+2n Solution: We are given the formula for the n-th term as: an = 3+2n Let's compute the first few terms: al = 3+2(1) = 5 = 3+2(2) = 7 3+2(4) = 11 The list of numbers is
  17. Example Problem 6 contd. The common difference d =7—5=2 Hence, this forms an arithmetic progression (AP) with, We use the formula for the sum of the first n terms of an AP: 2 Substitute n = 24, a = 5, and d = 2 sn = [2(5) +(24 = 12(10+46)
  18. Real Life Applications Daily Savings: If you save a fixed amount of money every day, your total savings over time form an arithmetic progression. Construction: In staircases, the heights of consecutive steps often follow an AP to ensure uniformity and ease of construction. Seating Arrangements: Rows in a stadium or theater are designed so that the number of seats in consecutive rows increases by a fixed amount, forming an AP. Natural Patterns: Growth rings in trees sometimes form an AP.
