Arithmetic progression
In mathematics, an arithmetic progression (AP) or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of the sequence is Click to edit For subtitle style a constant. Masterinstance, the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, is an arithmetic progression with common difference 2.

Example in daily life

The lengths of the rungs of a ladder decrease uniformly by 2 cm from bottom to top (see Fig. 5.1). The bottom rung is 45 cm in length. The lengths (in cm) of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, . . ., 8th rung from the bottom to the top are, respectively 45, 43, 41, 39, 37, 35, 33, 31 Click to edit Master subtitle style

TERMS
If the initial term of an arithmetic progression is a1 and the common difference of successive members is d, then the nth term of the Click to edit Master subtitle style sequence is given by: and in general

A finite portion of an arithmetic progression is called a finite arithmetic progression and sometimes just called an arithmetic progression. The behavior of the arithmetic progression depends on the common difference d. If the common difference is: *Positive, the members (terms) will grow towards positive infinity. Click to edit Master (terms) will *Negative, the memberssubtitle stylegrow towards negative infinity.

Sum
The sum of the members of a finite arithmetic progression is called an arithmetic series. Expressing the arithmetic series in two different ways:

An alternate form results from re-inserting the substitution:an = a1 + (n 1)d: Sn=n/2[2a1 + (n-1_d] In 499 CE Aryabhata, a prominent mathematicianastronomer from the classical age of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy, gave this method in the Aryabhatiya (section 2.18) .[1] Click to edit Master subtitle style

Adding both sides of the two equations, all terms involving d cancel: Dividing both sides by 2 produces a common form of the equation: Click to edit Sn=n/2(a1+an)Master subtitle style

So, for example, the sum of the terms of the arithmetic progression given by an = 3 + (n-1)(5) up to the 50th term is Click to edit Master subtitle style

Product
The product of the members of a finite arithmetic progression with an initial element a1, common differences d, and n elements in total is determined in a closed expression:

Where denotes the subtitle style Click to edit Masterrising factorial and denotes the Gamma function. (Note however that the formula is not valid when a1 / d is a negative integer or zero.)

This is a generalization from the fact that the product of the progression s given by the factorial n! and that the product for positive integers m and n is given by Click to edit Master subtitle style

Taking the example from above, the product of the terms of the arithmetic progression given by an = 3 + (n-1)(5) up to the 50th term is P50=5*50*. (3/5+50)/ (3/5)=3.78438 X 10*98* Consider an AP a,(a + d),(a + 2d),.................(a + (n 1)d) Finding the product of first three terms Click to edit Master subtitle style a(a + d)(a + 2d) = (a2 + ad)(a + 2d) = a3 + 3a2d + 2ad2
