Answer 1

I hope this helps you

Answer 2

Answer: The common difference is 6.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

14,8,2,−4,−10,…

It is an arithmetic sequence.

So, Here, a = first term = 14

d = common difference

As we know the formula for "Common difference ":

`d=a_2-a_1\\\\d=8-14\\\\d=-6\\\\Similarly,\\\\d=a_3-a_2\\\\d=2-8\\\\d=-6`

so, the difference is common.

Hence, the common difference is 6.
