Each of these progressions follows a set pattern in a series or sequence. For example, consider a series with the terms 1,3,5,7,9,11, and so on. We can see that each term increases by a value of 2. Consider an example of a population tree below. Notice how each layer increases by a multiple of 2.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eistudymaterial.s3.amazonaws.com\/apgp-300x181.png\" width=\"351\" height=\"212\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4900 alignnone size-medium\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eistudymaterial.s3.amazonaws.com\/apgp-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/eistudymaterial.s3.amazonaws.com\/apgp-480x290.png 480w, https:\/\/eistudymaterial.s3.amazonaws.com\/apgp.png 487w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These are some examples of progressions. Let us learn Arithmetic and Geometric progressions in detail here.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Definition of AP and GP:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Consider the series having the terms 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, and so on. Notice how the difference between any two adjacent terms is the same. The difference between 6 and 1 or 11 and 6 or 16 and 21 is always 5 and is constant. Such a series in which the common difference between any two successive terms is constant is known as an arithmetic progression.<\/p>\n<p>An Arithmetic Progression that has an infinite number of terms is known as an infinite arithmetic progression.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, consider a series containing the terms 9, 18, 36, 72, and so on. The ratio of every two successive terms in this series i.e., <span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\frac{18}{9}=\\frac{36}{18}=\\frac{72}{36}=2\\text{\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0}(\\frac{T_2}{T_1}=\\frac{T_3}{T_2}=\\frac{T_4}{T_3})<\/span>. Similarly, consider a series having 270, 90, 30, 10, and so on. The ratio of every two consecutive terms in this series is <span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">\\frac{1}{3}<\/span>.\u00a0 A series in which the ratio of any two successive numbers is constant is known as geometric progression.<\/p>\n<p>A Geometric Progression that has an infinite number of terms is known as an infinite geometric progression.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>General Expression and the terms in AP and GP<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Now that we have understood what AP and GP mean, let us learn the various terms in an AP and GP and their general form.<\/p>\n<p>We know that the difference between any two consecutive numbers in an AP is always the same. So, to know the value of the next term in an AP, we have to add the common difference to the previous term in that AP. So, the general form of an arithmetic progression is <span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">a,a+d,a+2d,a+3d,......,a+(n-1)d<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Where,<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">a<\/span> = first term<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">d<\/span> = common difference<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">n<\/span> = number of terms in the Arithmetic Progression<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, we know that the ratio of any two consecutive numbers in a GP is always constant. So, to know the value of the next term in a GP, we have to multiply the previous term with the common ratio. So, the general form of a Geometric Progression is <span class=\"katex-eq\" data-katex-display=\"false\">a,ar,ar^2,ar^3,......,ar^{n-1}<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Where,<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"katex-eq\"

What is the sum of an infinite arithmetic progression series?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans:<\/strong> The sum of an infinite AP with a positive difference tends to \u221e and the sum of an infinite AP with a negative difference tends to -\u221e .<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.
