Hi,
Any example where you get a straight line graph is an example for arithmetic progression
For example, Old faithful is a natural geyser that produces long eruptions which are easily predictable .The time between eruptions is based on the length of the previous eruption . If an eruption lasts for two minutes then the next eruption will occur approximately in 46 minutes . If an eruption last for 2 minutes then the next eruption will approximately occur in 58 minutes . The eruptions thus occur in the sequence 46, 58, 70, 82, 94...... with a common difference of 12. This pattern will come in handy when you visit the place....
Another example is when you are waiting for the bus. Assuming that the traffic is moving at a constant speed you can predict when the next bus will come...
when you ride a taxi you will be charged an initial rate and then a per mile or per kilometer charge. This shows an arithmetic progression that for every kilometer you will be charged a certain constant rate plus the initial rate.
Arithmetic progression can be applied in almost all aspects of our life. We just have to analyze how it can be used in our day to day life.
