FAQs on Unit Test: Arithmetic Progressions - Mathematics (Maths) Class 10

1. What is an arithmetic progression (AP)?
Ans. An arithmetic progression (AP) is a sequence of numbers in which the difference between consecutive terms is constant. This difference is known as the common difference. For example, in the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, the common difference is 3.
2. How can I find the nth term of an arithmetic progression?
Ans. The nth term of an arithmetic progression can be found using the formula: nth term = a + (n - 1)d, where 'a' is the first term, 'd' is the common difference, and 'n' is the term number you want to find.
3. What is the formula to calculate the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic progression?
Ans. The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic progression can be calculated using the formula: S_n = n/2 * (2a + (n - 1)d), where 'S_n' is the sum of the first n terms, 'a' is the first term, 'd' is the common difference, and 'n' is the number of terms to be added.
4. Can you give an example of a real-life application of arithmetic progressions?
Ans. One real-life application of arithmetic progressions is in calculating the total distance traveled in a series of evenly spaced intervals. For instance, if a person walks 2 meters in the first minute and increases their pace by 1 meter every subsequent minute, the distance they cover each minute forms an arithmetic progression.
5. How do you determine if a given sequence is an arithmetic progression?
Ans. To determine if a given sequence is an arithmetic progression, calculate the difference between consecutive terms. If the difference is constant throughout the sequence, then it is an arithmetic progression. If the differences vary, it is not an arithmetic progression.
