Exercise 3 Page 200

What is the difference between two consecutive terms?

3, 2 34, 2 12

Practice makes perfect

By observing the change that occurs between consecutive terms, we can describe the pattern of the arithmetic sequence. Here, we see that to get from a term to the next term we subtract 14. Therefore, the common difference of the sequence is - 14.

4 +( - 14) ⟶ 3 34 +( - 14) ⟶ 3 12 +( - 14) ⟶ 3 14 To find the next three terms in the sequence, we will extend this pattern three times. 4& +( - 14) ⟶ 3 34 +( - 14) ⟶ 3 12 +( - 14) ⟶ 3 14 ... & +( - 14) ⟶ 3+( - 14) ⟶ 2 34+( - 14) ⟶ 2 12 Therefore, the next three terms are 3, 2 34, and 2 12.
