Important Topics for Class 11 Maths NCERT Solutions Chapter 9 Sequence and Series are elaborated below:

Arithmetic Progression (A.P.)

An Arithmetic Progression (AP) is a sequence where differences between every two consecutive terms are the same. There is a possibility to derive a formula for the n^th term.

Example: Find the general term of the arithmetic progression -3, -(1/2), 2…

Solution: Given sequence is -3, -(1/2),2…

Here, first term is a=-3, and common difference is:

d = -(1/2) -(-3) = -(1/2)+3 = 5/2

By AP formulas, the general term of an AP is calculated by the formula:

an = a+(n-1)d

an = -3 +(n-1) 5/2

= -3+ (5/2)n - 5/2
= 5n/2 - 11/2

Thus, general term of the given AP is: an = 5n/2 - 11/2

Geometric Progression (G. P.)

In a geometric progression, each successive term is obtained by multiplying the common ratio to its preceding term. The formula for the nth term of a geometric progression whose first term is a and common ratio is r is:

a_n=ar_n-1

Geometric Mean (G.M.)

Geometric Mean (GM) is average value or mean which signifies central tendency of the set of numbers by finding product of their values.

Example: What is the geometric mean of 4,8.3,9 and 17?

Solution: Multiply the numbers together and then take the 5th root (because there are 5 numbers) = (4 * 8 * 3 * 9 * 17)(1/5) = 6.81
