Answer:

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

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
