Question

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

0.36, 0.26, 0.16, 0.06, –0.04, –0.14, ...

Answer 1

-.1

Explanation:

The common difference in the arithmetic sequence can be found by doing term minus a previous term.

So 0.26-0.36=-.1

or 0.16-0.26=-.1

or 0.06-0.16=-.1

or -0.04-0.06=-.1

or -0.14-(-0.04)=-.1
