Arithmetic Progression (AP) and Geometric Progression

(GP) — Formulas (Fixed)

1. Arithmetic Progression (AP)


A sequence where the difference between consecutive terms is constant. (Common difference =
d)

nth term of an AP. Example: a=2, d=3, n=5 ⇒ T_5 = 2 + (5-1)×3 = 14

Sum of first n terms. Example: a=2, d=3, n=5 ⇒ S_5 = 40


Alternative formula when last term l is known.

Sum of first n natural numbers. Example: n=5 ⇒ 15

Sum of squares. Example: n=3 ⇒ 14


Sum of cubes. Example: n=3 ⇒ 36

2. Geometric Progression (GP)


A sequence where each term is obtained by multiplying previous term by a fixed ratio r.
(Common ratio = r)

nth term of a GP. Example: a=2, r=3, n=4 ⇒ T_4 = 2×3^3 = 54


Sum of n terms (r ≠ 1). Example: a=2, r=2, n=4 ⇒ S_4 = 30

If r = 1, sum is simply n×a.

Sum to infinity when |r|<1. Example: a=2, r=1/2 ⇒ S_∞ = 4


Product of n terms of a GP.

Geometric mean of two numbers a and b.

If any symbol still looks unclear, tell me which one (e.g., subscript n, infinity sign, square root)
and I'll make that formula larger or provide extra worked steps.
