Question

2,3,5,7,8,10,15.... is it an arithmetic progression?why?​

Answer 1

Answer:No, it is not in arithmetic progression.

Step-by-step explanation:

• For an sequence to be in arithmetic progression the common difference between two consecutive terms must be same.

• 3-2=1

        5-3=2

        7-5=2

        8-7=1

        10-2=8

        15-10=5

       We can see here that common difference is changing.

• Hence,the sequence is not in Arithmetic Progression(A.P.).
