Definition of an Arithmetic Progression
An arithmetic progression is a sequence of numbers where each term is obtained by adding a fixed number to the previous term. For example, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4 is an arithmetic progression because each term is obtained by adding 2 to the previous term (-4 + 2 = -2, -2 + 2 = 0, and so on).
