What makes a sequence an arithmetic sequence?

Type of Sequence Arithmetic sequence.
Common Difference: - 16

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

1/2 +( - 16) âź¶ 1/3 +( - 16) âź¶ 1/6 +( - 16) âź¶ 0 +( - 16) âź¶ ... Therefore, the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with common difference - 16.
