WHAT IS A.P?
ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION: In mathematics, an
arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence is a sequence
of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive
terms is constant.
FORMULA:
an = a1 + ( n-1)d
an = the nth term in the sequence
a1 = the first term in the sequence
d = the common difference between the terms.
WHAT IS SIMPLE INTEREST?
SIMPLE INTEREST: Simple interest is interest calculated
on the principal portion of a loan or the original
contribution to a savings account.
FORMULA:
A = P (1 + rt)
A = final amount
P = initial principle balance
r = annual interest rate
t = time period ( in years)
RELATION OF A.P AND
SIMPLE INTEREST:

An arithmetic progression is a sequence of

numbers where the difference between consecutive
terms is constant: e.g. the sequence 10,12,14,16... is
an arithmetic progression because the difference
between consecutive terms is 2. This is exactly the
type of sequence one sees when looking at how a
debt grows at regular intervals with simple
interest: the first term is the principal (the "initial
debt") and each subsequent term is equal to the
previous one plus the interest due on the principal
for the last period.
APPLICATION:
Example: A sum of Rs 1000 was invested at 8% simple
interest per year. Calculate the interest at the end of
each year. Do you think these interests form an A.P?

Thus the following is an example of A.P ( with d=80) being used

in simple interest.
