CHAPTER -5:ARITHMETIC PROGRESSIONS

d =5
Arithmetic Progression: A sequence
in which the diference obtained by substitute d=3 in eq. (i)
subtracting any term from its preceding a + 10d= 62
term is constant throughout, is called a+ 10(5) =62
an arithmetic sequence or arithmetic a + 50= 62
progression (A.P.). a =62 - 50
The terms of A.P. is denoted by a,, a, , a= 12
Therefore 30th term a,,=a+ 29d
The general form of an A.P. is a, a+d, =12 + 29 (5)
a + 2d, a +3d........... ...a +((n-1) d = 12 + 145
(a:first term, d = common difference). = 157
