Question

What is the common difference between successive terms in the sequence? 0. 36, 0. 26, 0. 16, 0. 06, –0. 04, –0. 14,. –0. 1 –0. 01 0. 01 0. 1.

Answer 1

The common difference between successive terms in the sequence is -0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Common difference in an arithmetic sequence:

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, and this difference is called common difference.

0.36, 0.26, 0.16, 0.06, -0.04, -0.14

Subtraction of each term by its predecessor. So

0.26 - 0.36 = 0.16 - 0.26 = -0.1

The common difference between successive terms in the sequence is -0.1
