Questions and Answers

What defines an arithmetic progression?

  • A sequence with a variable difference between terms.
  • A sequence where terms increase or decrease by a constant number. (correct)
  • A sequence where terms are multiplied by a constant.
  • A sequence that comprises only prime numbers.

    • Which formula represents the nth term of an arithmetic progression?

  • $a_n = ar^{n - 1}$
  • $a_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n - 1)d)$
  • $a_n = a + (n - 1)d$ (correct)
  • $a_n = a\frac{1 - r^n}{1 - r}$

    • What is the common ratio in a geometric progression?

  • The constant ratio by which terms are multiplied. (correct)
  • The sum of the first and second terms.
  • The difference between consecutive terms.
