1. A.G.P. Properties Formula
Arithmetic Geometric Series
A series will be an arithmetic-geometric series if each of its terms is formed by the product of the corresponding terms of an A.P and G.P.
The general form of A.G.P series is a, (a+d)r, (a+2d)$$r^{2}$$,......
Sum of ‘n’ terms of A.G.P series
$$S_{n}$$=$$\frac{a}{1-r}$$+rd$$\frac{(1-r^{n-1})}{1-r}$$+rn$$\frac{[a+(n-1)d]}{1-r}$$(r≠1)
Sum of infinite terms of A.G.P series
$$S_{∞}$$=$$\frac{a}{1-r}+\frac{dr}{(1-r)^{2}}$$(|r|<1)
2. G.P. - Formulas and Properties
Geometric Progression
If in a succession of numbers the ratio of any term and the previous term is constant then that numbers are said to be in Geometric Progression.
Ex :1, 3, 9, 27 or a, ar, a$$r^{2}$$, a$$r^{3}$$
The general expression of a G.P, Tn = a $$r^{n-1}$$ (where a is the first term and ‘r’ is the common ratio).
Sum of ‘n’ terms in G.P, Sn = $$\frac{a(1-r^{n})}{1-r}$$ (if r<1) or $$\frac {a(r^{n}-1)}{r-1}$$ (if r>1)
Properties of G.P
If a, b , c, d,.... are in G.P and ‘k’ is a constant then
Sum of term of infinite series in G.P, $$S_{∞}$$=$$\frac {a}{1-r}$$ (-1 < r <1)
3. A.P. - Formulas and Properties
Arithmetic progression (A.P)
If the sum of the difference between any two consecutive terms is constant then the terms are said to be in A.P
Example: 2,5,8,11 or a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d...
If 'a' is the first term and 'd' is a common difference then the general 'n' term is $$T_{n}$$=a+(n-1)d
Sum of first 'n' terms in A.P=$$\frac{n}{2}$$[2a+(n-1)d]
Number of terms in A.P=$$\frac{Last Term-First Term}{Common Difference}$$+1
Properties of Arithmetic progression
If a, b, c, d,.... are in A.P and ‘k’ is a constant then
a-k, b-k, c-k,... will also be in A.P
ak, bk, ck,...will also be in A.P
a/k, b/k, c/k will also be in A.P
4. Harmonic Mean Formula
Harmonic Mean
If a, b, c, d...are the given numbers in H.P then the Harmonic mean of 'n' terms=$$\frac{Number of terms}{\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{a}+....}$$
If two numbers a and b are in H.P then the Harmonic mean= $$\frac{2ab}{a+b}$$
