What is an arithmetic progression (AP)?
A sequence of numbers where each term is obtained by adding the same value to the previous term
A sequence of numbers where each term is obtained by multiplying the same value to the previous term
A sequence of numbers where each term is obtained by adding the same value to the previous term
A sequence of numbers where each term is obtained by multiplying the same value to the previous term
- 2. Multiple Choice
How do you find the nth term of an arithmetic progression?
Tₙ = a₁ + (n - 1) * d
Tₙ = a₁ + (n + 1) * d
Tₙ = a₁ + (n - 1) / d
Tₙ = a₁ + (n + 1) / d

How do you find the common difference of an arithmetic progression if the first term and the nth term are given?
Common difference = (nth term - first term) / (n-1)
Common difference = (nth term - first term) / n
Common difference = (nth term - first term) / (n+1)
Common difference = (nth term - first term) * (n-1)
