Arithmetic Progression
1.Characterize an aritmetic progression:
A progression (a2)∞n+1 is told to be „arithmetic“ if and only if exists such d є R real number, so that for all n є N stands an+1 = an + d
Number d is called arithmetic progression difference.
For an arithmetic progression stands:
- an = a1 + (n-1)d
- ar = as + (r-s)d
- s = a1 + a2 + a3 + ... + an =
- If d > 0 the progression is increasing
- If d < 0 the progression is decreasing
- If d = 0 the progression is constant
2.Find out whether the following progression is arithmetic:
a1 = -2, a2 = -1, a3 = 0, a4 = 1, a5 = 2 etc.
The progression is arithmetic; difference d = 1.
3.Enumerate first 6 progression members of an arithmetic progression that fits following conditions:
a5 – a2 – a3 = 2
a1 + a1 +3d +a1 +5d = 71
a1 + 4d – a1-d –a1 -2d = 2
3a1 + 8d = 71
-a1 + d =2/3
3a1 + 8d = 71
-3a1 + 3d = 6
a1 – d = -2
a1 = d - 2
a1 = 7 - 2
a1 = 5
11d = 77
d = 7
(a2)n-16 = 5;12;19;26;33;40
4.Enumerate first 6 progression members of an arithmetic progression that fits following conditions:
5.An aritmetic progression consists of 8 numbers. Sum of the middle members is 41, sum of the first and the last member is 114. Enumerate the progression members.
