Step-by-step explanation:
Formulas
There are two major formulas we come across when we learn about Arithmetic Progression, which is related to:
The nth term of AP
Sum of the first n terms
Let us learn here both the formulas with examples.
nth Term of an AP
The formula for finding the n-th term of an AP is:
an = a + (n − 1) × d
Arithmetic Progression (AP) is a sequence of numbers in order in which the difference of any two consecutive numbers is a constant value. For example, the series of natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,… is an AP, which has a common difference between two successive terms (say 1 and 2) equal to 1 (2 -1). Even in the case of odd numbers and even numbers, we can see the common difference between two successive terms will be equal to 2.
