1. The problem is to find three more terms of the sequence: $1^1, 5^2, 7^2, 73, \ldots$ and check if it forms an arithmetic progression (AP).
2. First, evaluate the given terms:
- $1^1 = 1$
- $5^2 = 25$
- $7^2 = 49$
- The fourth term is $73$
3. Check if these terms form an AP by finding the differences between consecutive terms:
- $25 - 1 = 24$
- $49 - 25 = 24$
- $73 - 49 = 24$
Since the common difference $d = 24$, the sequence is an AP.
4. To find the next three terms, add $24$ to the last term repeatedly:
- Fifth term: $73 + 24 = 97$
- Sixth term: $97 + 24 = 121$
- Seventh term: $121 + 24 = 145$
5. Therefore, the next three terms of the AP are $97, 121, 145$.
Final answer: $97, 121, 145$
