Question

Type the missing number in this sequence: -6, -4, __ , 0, 2​

Answer 1

The answer is (-2)

Explanation:

Given;

• a₁ = (-6)
• a₂ = (-4)
• and so on,

To Find;

• a₃ = ?

Here, we will use AP

Now, Common Difference (d)

d = a₂ – a₁ = (-4) – (-6) = (-4) + 6 = 2

Here, Common Difference (d) is 2

So,

a₃ = a₂ + d

a₃ = (-4) + 2

a₃ = -2

Thus, The missing number in this sequence is (-2).
