Progression Formulas and definitions
In Mathematics progression is a list or series of numbers that shows a fixed pattern and it is also called sequence. By this order or pattern, we can find the next term of the series.

Types of Progression
In maths, Mainly three types of progression we use,
- Arithmetic Progression (AP)
- Geometric Progression (GP)
- Harmonic Progression (HP)
Arithmetic Progression
In Arithmetic progression, the difference between any two consecutive terms of the series is always the same and this difference is called the common difference denoted by 'd' and the first term of the series is called 'a'
e.g.- 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.......
3-1 = 2
5-3 = 2
7-5 = 2
9-7 = 2
So, this series in AP and the common difference d = 2 and the first term is a = 1.
General form of Arithmetic progression
a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d, ............... a+(n - 1)d ..........
1st term T1 = a
2nd term T2 = a + d
3rd term T3 = a + 2d
nth term Tn = a + (n - 1)d
Formulas for Arithmetic progression
👉To find nth term of AP,
an or Tn = a + (n - 1)d
an = Sn - Sn-1
nth term denoted by an or Tn
👉If the last term is given then nth term from the last,
\(a_l = l - (n - 1)d\)
👉To find the sum of all n terms of AP,
\(S_n = \frac {n}{2} [ 2a + (n - 1)d]\)
If the last term is given
\(S_n = \frac {n}{2} [ a + l ]\)
👉To find the common difference
d = an - an-1
d = S2 - 2S1
👉If a and b are in AP then the Arithmetic mean is,
\(A = \frac {a+b}{2}\)
Arithmetic mean denoted by 'A'.
👉If a, b, c are in AP then the Arithmetic mean of a and c is,
\(b = \frac {a+c}{2}\)
Note- If the terms in AP are to be considered, then they are considered in this format.
In Odd numbers
like 3 terms in AP then,
a - d, a, a + d
or 5 terms in AP then,
a - 2d, a - d, a, a + d, a + 2d
In Even numbers
consider 2 terms in AP then,
a - d, a + d
or if 4 terms in AP then,
a - 3d, a - d, a + d, a + 3d
Geometric Progression
In this series ratio of any two consecutive terms is always the same this ratio is called the common ratio. It is denoted by 'r'. By multiple this common ratio, we can find the next number of the series.
e.g.- 2, 6, 18, 54 ......................
\(\frac {6}{2} = 3\)
\(\frac {18}{6} = 3\)
\(\frac {54}{18} = 3\)
So, this series in GP and the common ratio r = 2 and the first term is a = 2.
General form of Geometric Progression
a, ar, ar2, ar3, ............... arn - 1 ...........
1st term a1 = a
2nd term a2 = ar
3rd term a3 = ar2
nth term an = arn - 1
Formulas for Geometric Progression
👉To find nth term of GP,
an = arn - 1
nth term denoted by an or Tn
👉If the last term is given then nth term from the last,
\(a_l = l\left ( \frac {1}{r} \right )^{n-1}\)
👉To find the sum of all n terms of GP,
\(S_n = \frac {a(r^n - 1)}{r-1} , r > 1\)
\(S_n = \frac {a(1 - r^n)}{1 - r} , r < 1\)
👉 The sum of the terms of GP with infinite terms,
a, ar, ar2, ar3, ............... ∞
\(S_∞ = \frac {a}{1 - r} , |r| < 1\)
👉If a and b are in GP then the Geometrical mean is,
\(G = \sqrt {ab}\)
Geometrical mean denoted by 'G'.
Note- If the terms in GP are to be considered, then they are considered in this format.
In Odd numbers
like 3 terms in GP then,
\(\frac {a}{r}\), a, ar
or 5 terms in GP then,
\(\frac {a}{r^2} , \frac {a}{r}\), a, ar, ar2
In Even numbers
consider 2 terms in GP then,
\(\frac {a}{r}\), ar
or if 4 terms in AP then,
\(\frac {a}{r^3} , \frac {a}{r}\), ar, ar3
Harmonic Progression
If we take the reciprocal of AP terms then we got Harmonic progression for example 1, 3, 5, 7, 9....... is in AP if we take reciprocal of each term 1, 1/3, 1/5, 1/7, 1/9 ....... this series in HP.
General Form of Harmonic Progression
\(\frac {1}{a}, \frac {1}{a+d}, \frac {1}{a+2d}........................\frac {1}{a+(n-1)d}\)
Note- you can solve all questions of this progression by reciprocal AP series Let's with an example.
Qus- Find the 10th term if HP is \(\frac {1}{2}, \frac {1}{4}, \frac {1}{6}.................\)?
Solution- Compatible AP- 2, 4, 6 .......... (reciprocal of each term)
a = 2, d = 2
an = a + (n - 1)d
a10 = 2 + (10 - 1)2
a10 = 2 + 9×2
a10 = 20
this is 10 term of AP.
For 10 term of HP \(\frac {1}{20}\).
Formula of Harmonic Progression
👉To find nth term of HP,
an = \(\frac {1}{a+(n-1)d}\)
👉To find the sum of all n terms of HP,
\(S_n = \frac {1}{d} ln[\frac {2a + (2n - 1)d}{2a-d}]\)
👉 If a and b in HP then Harmonic mean = \(\frac {2ab}{a+b}\)
👉 If a, b and c in HP then Harmonic mean = \(\frac {3abc}{ab+bc+ca}\)
Relation between Arithmetic mean, Geometrical mean and Harmonic mean
AM ≥ GM ≥ HM
or
AM > GM > HM
or
GM2 = AM × HM
Where,
AM = Arithmetic mean
GM = Geometrical mean
HM = Harmonic mean
