DEFINITION : SEQUENCE AND PROGRESSION KEY CONCEPTS A sequece is a set of terms i a defiite order with a rule for obtaiig the terms. e.g., /, /3,..., /,... is a sequece. AN ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION (AP) : AP is sequece whose terms icrease or decrease by a fixed umber. This fixed umber is called the commo differece. If a is the first term & d the commo differece, the AP ca be writte as a, a + d, a + d,... a + (-) d,... th term of this AP t = a + (-) d, where d = a a - The sum of the first terms of the AP is give by ; S = [a + ( - )d] = [a +l] Where l is the last term. Notes: (i) If each term of a A.P. is icreased, decreased, multiplied or divided by the same ozero umber, the the resultig sequece is also a AP. (ii) Three umbers i AP ca be take as a - d, a, a + d ; four umbers i AP ca be take as a, a - 3d, a - d, a + d, a + 3d five umbers i AP are a - d, a - d, a, a +d, a +d & six terms i AP are a - 5d, a - 3d, a - d, a + d, a + 3d, a + 5d etc. (iii) The commo differece ca be zero, positive or egative. (iv) The sum of the two terms of a AP equidistat from the begiig & ed is costat ad equal to the sum of first & last terms. (v) Ay term of a AP (except the first ) is equal to half the sum of terms which are equidistat from it. a = / (a- k + a+ k), k < For k =, a = (/ ) (a- + a+ ) ; For =, a = (/ ) (a a ) ad so o. k - + + (vi) t r = S r - S r- (vii) If a, b, c are i AP Þ b = a + c. GEOMETRIC PROGRESSION (GP) : GP is a sequece of umbers whose first term is o-zero & each of the succeedig terms is equal to to the proceedig terms multiplied by a costat. Thus i a GP the ratio of successive term is costat. This costat factor is called the COMMON RATIO of the series & is obtaied by dividig ay term by that which immediately proceeds it. Therefore a, ar, ar, ar 3, ar,... is a GP with a as the first term & r as commo ratio. (i) th term = a r ( - ) (ii) Sum of the I st a r terms i.e. S =, if r ¹, r - (iii) sum of ifiite GP whe r < whe r 0 if r < therefore, S = a r < - r (iv) If each term of a GP be multiplied or divided by the same o-zero, quatity, the resultig sequece is also a GP. (v) Ay 3 cossecutive terms of a GP ca be take as a/r, a, ar ; Ay cossecutive Arride learig Olie E-learig Academy A-79 Idra Vihar, Kota Rajastha 3005 Page No. #

(v) Ay 3 cossecutive terms of a GP ca be take as a/r, a, ar ; Ay cossecutive terms of a GP ca be take as a/r 3, a/r, ar, ar 3 & so o. = (vi) If a, b, c are i GP Þ b ac. HARMONIC PROGRESSION (HP) : A sequece is said to HP if the reciprocals of its terms are i AP. If the sequece a, a, a 3,..., a is a HP the /a, /a,..., /a is a AP & coverse. Here we do ot have the formula for the sum of the terms of a HP. For HP whose first term is a & secod term is b, the th term is t ab =. b + ( - )(a - b) If a, b, c are i HP Þ b = ac a+ c or a a-b = c b-c AIRTHMATIC MEAN : MEANS If three terms are i AP the the middle term is called the AM betwee the order two, so if a, b, c are i AP, b is AM of a & c. a + a + a +... + a AM for ay positive umber a, a,...a is ; A = = 3 - AIRTHMATIC MEANS BETWEEN TWO NUMBERS : If a,b are ay two give umbers & a, A, A,..., A, b are i AP the A, A,...A are the AM s betwee a & b. A = a + b - a + A, = a+ (b -a) +,..., A = a+ (b -a) + b-a = a + d, = a + d,..., A = a + d, where d = + Note : Sum of AM s iserted betwee a & b is equal to times the sigle AM betwee a & b i.e. å Ar = A where A is the sigle AM betwee a & b. r= GEOMETRIC MEANS : If a, b, c are i GP, b is the GM betwee a & c. b = ac, therefore b - GEOMETRIC MEANS BETWEEN a, b : = ac ; a > 0, c > 0. If a, b are two give umbers & a, G, G,..., G, b are i GP. The G, G, G 3,...G are GMs betwee a & b. G =, G a(b/ a / + =,..., G a(b/ a / + = / + a(b / a) ) ) = ar, = ar,... = ar, where r = (b/a) /+ Note : The product of GMs betwee a & b. is equal to th power of the sigle GM betwee a & b i.e. p r= G = (G) r where G is the sigle GM betwee a & b Arride learig Olie E-learig Academy A-79 Idra Vihar, Kota Rajastha 3005 Page No. #

HARMONIC MEAN : If a, b, c are i HP, betwee a & c, the b = ac / [a + c]. Relatio betwee meas : (i) If A, G, H are respectively A.M., G.M., H.M. betwee a & b both beig uequal & positive the, G² = AH (i.e. A, G, H are i G.P.) ad A ³ G ³ H. (ii) A.M. ³ G.M. ³ H.M.

It ca be show that A.M. ³ G.M. ³ H.M. ad equality holds at either places iff a = a = a 3 =...= a ARITHMETICO - GEOMETRIC SERIES : A series each term of which is formed by multiplyig the correspodig term of a AP & GP is called the Arithmetico-Geometric Series, e.g. + 3x + 5x + 7x 3 +... Here, 3, 5,... are i AP &, x, x, x 3... are i GP..
