document.write( "Regarding arithmetic progression, its first term is 0 and the common difference is  100-0 = 100,\r\n" );

document.write( "so its 10-th term is   = 0 + 9*100 = 900.\r\n" );

document.write( "Regarding geometric progression, its first term is 5 and the common difference is   = 2,\r\n" );
