Question

What is the common ratio between successive terms in the sequence?

Answer 1

the common difference between successive terms in the sequence is the sequences ………2,8,14,20,26,is :6

common different =26-20=20-14=14-8=8-2=6

thank you for your question

Answer 2

The common difference between successive terms in the sequence is:

6

Explanation:

We know that for any arithmetic sequence of the type:

`a,\ a+d,\ a+2d,\ a+3d,\ ......`

with the common difference d such that the common difference is given by:

`d=a_n-a_(n-1)`

Here the arithmetic sequence is given by:

2 , 8 , 14 , 20 , 26

Hence, the common difference is given by:

`d=8-2\\\\d=6`
