UNIT-1 PROGRESSIONS

● Definition of Progression: Series or sequence of numbers which are written with a definite
order by studying a previous number we must be able to write the succeeding number , such
arrangements of numbers is called Progression.
Eg. 1,3,5,7,………

● Arithmetic Progression: A progression which increase or decrease by a constant number then


such a progression is called Arithmetic progression. Also called as A.P.
Eg. 2,6,10,…….
In A.P the difference between any two term is constant or common. This difference is known as
Common difference & is denoted by ‘d’.
● To Find the nth term of an A.P series
Tn = a + (n-1)d
Where a= first term
d= common difference
n = number of term.
