A.G.P. Properties

Rarely Tested

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)
