An arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 4 include the following: D. 5,9,13, 17, 21, ...
In Mathematics and Euclidean Geometry, the nth term of an arithmetic sequence can be calculated by using this equation:
Where:
- d represents the common difference.
represents the first term of an arithmetic sequence.- n represents the total number of terms.
Next, we would write an explicit equation for the sequence by using the arithmetic sequence formula;
Common difference, d = succeding term - preceeding term
Common difference, d = 9 - 5 = 13 - 9 = 17 - 13 = 21 - 17
Common difference, d = 4.
