I wish to familiarise the topic Arithmetical Progressions
Any sequence of numbers starting with a particular number and progressively increasing with equal additions can be stated to be forming such progressions.
The start number can be called the first term-generally denoted by 'a'
The additions in equal values can be called the 'common difference-generally denoted by 'd'
'a' can be anything like 5, 100 ,3/7 ,4.05, 6^2 etc
'd' can also be similarly anything-can also have negative values.
A few examples shown below-
100,103,106,109,112......
(4.5) .(5.2) (5.9) (6.6)....
7/45......9/45 11/45...13/45....15/45 17/45
1000,992,984,976,968... etc
Given the first term like 32 and common difference like 5,we have methods to find out the 16th or 45th etc terms.Also the sums of the various terms upto the 16th term or 45th term.
I will explain the methods in my next blog.
