Arithmetic progression - practice problems

An arithmetic progression (AP) is a sequence of numbers where the difference between any two consecutive terms is a constant value. This constant difference is called the common difference.

Formula for n-th member is:

a_{n} = a_{1} + (n - 1) \cdot d

Sum of n AP members:

s_{n} = n \cdot \frac{a _{1} + a _{n}}{2}
