A(1) = 12A(4) = 3
A(10) = -15.
You take the difference between the second and first numbers.Then take the difference between the third and second numbers. If that difference is not the same then it is not an arithmetic sequence, otherwise it could be.Take the difference between the fourth and third second numbers. If that difference is not the same then it is not an arithmetic sequence, otherwise it could be.Keep checking until you think the differences are all the same.That being the case it is an arithmetic sequence.If you have a position to value rule that is linear then it is an arithmetic sequence.
A single number, such as 11111, cannot define an arithmetic sequence. On the other hand, it can be the first element of any kind of sequence. On the other hand, if the question was about ``1, 1, 1, 1, 1'' then that is an arithmetic sequence as there is a common difference of 0 between each term.
What is the 14th term in the arithmetic sequence in which the first is 100 and the common difference is -4? a14= a + 13d = 100 + 13(-4) = 48
It is an Arithmetic Progression with a constant difference of 11 and first term 15.

An arithmetic sequence is a group or sequence of numbers where, except for the first number, each of the subsequent number is determined by the same rule or set of rules. * * * * * The above answer is incorrect. The rule can only be additive: it cannot be multiplicative or anything else.
What is the 14th term in the arithmetic sequence in which the first is 100 and the common difference is -4? a14= a + 13d = 100 + 13(-4) = 48
It is an Arithmetic Progression with a constant difference of 11 and first term 15.
It is a + 8d where a is the first term and d is the common difference.

The sequence in the question is NOT an arithmetic sequence. In an arithmetic sequence the difference between each term and its predecessor (the term immediately before) is a constant - including the sign. It is not enough for the difference between two successive terms (in any order) to remain constant. In the above sequence, the difference is -7 for the first two intervals and then changes to +7.
The difference between successive terms in an arithmetic sequence is a constant. Denote this by r. Suppose the first term is a. Then the nth term, of the sequence is given by t(n) = (a-r) + n*r or a + (n-1)*r
