Topic: Arithmetic Progression

Introduction

Have you ever noticed the pattern in the numbers like 2, 4, 6, 8...? These are called Arithmetic

Progressions (AP)! An AP is a sequence where each number is obtained by adding a fixed number

(called the common difference) to the previous number. It's like climbing stairs where each step is of

equal height.

Real-Life Connections

Arithmetic Progression is not just in textbooks. You see it in:

- Pocket money increasing every month.

- Number of seats in rows of an auditorium.

- Saving money regularly in a piggy bank.

- Designing steps for a staircase.

Understanding AP helps you predict patterns and plan ahead!

General Formula of AP

Let's break it down:

- First term = a

- Common difference = d

- nth term = a + (n - 1)d

This helps you find any term in the sequence without listing all numbers!

Example 1:

Topic: Arithmetic Progression

Find the 10th term of the AP: 3, 7, 11, 15, ...

Here, a = 3 and d = 4

Using an = a + (n-1)d

=> a10 = 3 + (10-1)x4 = 3 + 36 = 39

Sum of Terms in AP

Want to find the total of several AP terms?

Use:

Sn = n/2 x [2a + (n-1)d] or Sn = n/2 x (a + l)

Where Sn is the sum of n terms, a is the first term, d is the common difference, and l is the last term.

Example 2:

Find the sum of the first 5 terms of the AP: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14

Here, a = 2, d = 3, n = 5

Sn = 5/2 x [2x2 + (5-1)x3] = 2.5 x [4 + 12] = 2.5 x 16 = 40

Conclusion

Arithmetic Progression makes math predictable and fun. Once you understand the formulae, you

can solve many real-world problems easily. It's like having a magic trick to decode patterns around

you!

I would like to thank my mathematics teacher and school for giving me this opportunity to explore

the concept of Arithmetic Progression. This project helped me understand the importance of

sequences and how they relate to our everyday life.
