Arithmetic Progression

An arithmetic progression (AP) is a sequence of numbers where each term is equal to

the previous term plus a constant value, called the common difference. The general
form of an AP is:

a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, ...

where a is the first term and d is the common difference.

Formulas:

The nth term of an AP is given by:

an = a + (n - 1)d
The sum of the first n terms of an AP is given by:
Sn = n/2(a + l)
where l is the last term in the AP.

Examples:

Here are some examples of APs:

2, 5, 8, 11, 14, ... (common difference = 3)

10, 8, 6, 4, 2, ... (common difference = -2)
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, ... (common difference = 3)
100, 75, 50, 25, 0, ... (common difference = -25)
How to use the formulas:

To use the formulas for APs, you need to know the first term and the common
difference. Once you have this information, you can use the formulas to find any
term in the sequence or the sum of any number of terms.

For example, to find the 10th term of the AP 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, ..., we can use the
following formula:

a10 = 2 + (10 - 1)3 = 31

To find the sum of the first 10 terms of the AP 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, ..., we can use
the following formula:

S10 = 10/2(2 + 31) = 165

Applications of APs:

APs have many applications in mathematics, science, and engineering. For example,
APs can be used to model the following:

The motion of an object falling under gravity

The growth of a population
The depreciation of an asset
The interest earned on a savings account
