Arithmetic & Geometric Progressions: Past Paper Questions for Additional Maths iGCSE Cambridge (0606)

Studying for your Additional Maths iGCSE?

On this page you'll find plenty of questions on arithmetic progressions and geometric progressions from Cambridge iGCSE past papers.

These questions include finding the nth terms, sums of terms (called series), and other problems involving arithmetic and geometric progressions (sequences).

As a reminder, arithmetic progressions are also called linear sequences and the term-to-term rule involves adding or subtracting the same number. This number is called the common difference.

Geometric sequences are also called exponential sequences and the term-to-term rule involves multiplying or dividing by the same number. This number is called the common ratio.

If a geometric progression has a common ratio such that |r| < 1, you also need to know how to find its sum to infinity.
