Answer: TRUE

Explanation:

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which the difference between each term (number) is a constant.

Given the sequence is {3, -6, -15, -24}

3 - (-6) = 9

-6 - (-15) = 9

-15 - (-24) = 9

As we can see from above, the difference between the given terms is all 9. Therefore, it is indeed an arithmetic sequence.

Hope this helps!! :)
