Lesso- PROGRESSIONS AND SERIES Arithmetic Progressio: A sequece of terms is sid to be i rithmetic progressio (A.P) whe the differece betwee y term d its preceedig term is fixed costt. This costt is clled the commo differece (c.d) of the A.P. If is first term d d is the commo differece of the A.P., the its th term t is give by t + ( )d. The sum S of the first terms of such A.P. is give by S [ + ( )d] [ + l] where l is the th term of the A.P. Importt results o A.P.. If, b, c re i A.P.d k is o zero costt the, () + k, b + k, c + k re i A.P. k, bk, ck re i A.P.. If,,,... d b, b, b,... re two A.P s, the + b, + b, + b,... is lso A.P.. Three terms i A.P. my be tke s d,, + d. 4. Four terms i A.P. my be tke s d, d, + d, + d. 5. Arithmetic Me (A.M.) If, A, b re i A.P. the, A is sid to be the rithmetic me of d b.

Geometric Progressio (G.P.) A sequece is sid to be i G.P. whe its first term is o-zero d ech term is r times the preceedig term,where r is o-zero costt. The fixed umber r is kow s the commo rtio of the G.P. The th term t is give by t r where is the first term. Sum of first terms of G.P. is give by S ( r ), if r r S + r + r + r +... r : < r <, r 0 Some results for G.P.. If, b, c re i G.P., the for k 0 () k, bk, ck re i G.P. b c,, re i G.P. k k k.
