What is a sequence in which a common difference separates terms?
arithmetic sequence
What is it where you find terms by adding the common difference to the previous terms?
An arithmetic sequence.
If a equals 4 and d equals -2 what is the first four terms of the arithmetic sequence?
6
What is the sum of the first 12 terms of the arithmetic sequence?
The sum of the first 12 terms of an arithmetic sequence is: sum = (n/2)(2a + (n - 1)d) = (12/2)(2a + (12 - 1)d) = 6(2a + 11d) = 12a + 66d where a is the first term and d is the common difference.
How can you get the common difference in an arithmetic sequence?
You subtract any two adjacent numbers in the sequence. For example, in the sequence (1, 4, 7, 10, ...), you can subtract 4 - 1, or 7 - 4, or 10 - 7; in any case you will get 3, which is the common difference.

What is the sum of the first 12 terms of the arithmetic sequence?
The sum of the first 12 terms of an arithmetic sequence is: sum = (n/2)(2a + (n - 1)d) = (12/2)(2a + (12 - 1)d) = 6(2a + 11d) = 12a + 66d where a is the first term and d is the common difference.

How can you determine whether the arithmetic sequence has a positive common difference or a negative common difference?
If the terms get bigger as you go along, the common difference is positive. If they get smaller, the common difference is negative and if they stay the same then the common difference is 0.
How do you find out the formula for a Quadratic Sequence?
A quadratic sequence is when the difference between two terms changes each step. To find the formula for a quadratic sequence, one must first find the difference between the consecutive terms. Then a second difference must be found by finding the difference between the first consecutive differences.

What is the common difference for an arithmetic sequence in which the terms are decreasing?
From the information given, all that can be said is that it will be a negative number.
