Exercise 30 Page 204

What makes a sequence arithmetic?

Is the Sequence Arithmetic? Yes
Common Difference: -6

Practice makes perfect

When a sequence is arithmetic, the difference between any two consecutive terms is constant. By examining our sequence, we can see that this is the case.

87 +( - 6) ⟶ 81 +( - 6) ⟶ 75 +( - 6) ⟶ 69 +( - 6) ⟶ ... Therefore, the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is - 6.
