Arithmetic progression
Constant difference
Use aₙ = a + (n − 1)d to predict any term.
Grade 12 begins with sequences and series: arithmetic progressions grow by a constant difference, while geometric progressions grow by a constant ratio.
Distinguish arithmetic from geometric patterns, calculate nth terms, and find finite sums with generated exact-value problems.
Use aₙ = a + (n − 1)d to predict any term.
Use aₙ = arⁿ⁻¹ to model repeated multiplication.
Use finite-sum formulas to connect sequence rules with accumulated totals.
