Core Topics At a Glance

### 📌 Arithmetic Progression definition An Arithmetic Progression (AP) is a sequence of numbers in which the difference between consecutive terms is constant. Each term (except the first) is obtained by adding a fixed number to the preceding term.

### 📌 Common difference d The fixed number that is added to each term to get the next term in an AP is called the common difference. It can be positive, negative, or zero.

### 📌 n-th term of an AP formula The n-th term of an AP with first term 'a' and common difference 'd' is calculated using a linear formula, which allows us to find any term without writing the entire sequence.

### 📌 Sum of first n terms of an AP The sum of the first n terms of an AP is the total accumulated sum of the terms. It can be calculated using the first term, common difference, and number of terms, or using the first and last terms.

### 📌 Applications word problems Real-world problems applying area, perimeter, and circumference formulas to paths, fences, and circle tracks.

Key Formulas Mind Map

• n-th term of AP: `a_n = a + (n-1)d` - Finds the value of the n-th term....
• Sum of n terms AP: `S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d]` - Sum of first n terms....
