In an arithmetic sequence, the constant rate of increase or decrease between successive terms is called the common difference. This value can be positive, negative, or zero, depending on whether the sequence is increasing, decreasing, or constant. The common difference is denoted by the symbol ( d ) and is calculated by subtracting any term from the subsequent term.
It's technically called an arithmetic sequence
It is the "common difference".It is the "common difference".It is the "common difference".It is the "common difference".
That's an arithmetic sequence.
No. An 'arithmetic' sequence is defined as one with a common difference.A sequence with a common ratio is a geometricone.
This a progression that involves addition or subtraction of successive terms in a sequence.
An arithmetic sequence does not have a constant rate of increase or decrease between successive terms, so it cannot be called anything!The constant increase or decrease is called the common difference.
In a convoluted way, yes.
It's technically called an arithmetic sequence
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

arithmetic sequence
No, the Fibonacci sequence is not an arithmetic because the difference between consecutive terms is not constant
The difference between successive terms refers to the change or gap in value between consecutive elements in a sequence or series. It is calculated by subtracting the earlier term from the later term. For example, in the sequence 2, 5, 9, the differences between successive terms are 3 (5 - 2) and 4 (9 - 5). This concept is often used in analyzing patterns or trends in mathematical sequences.
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by. an = a + (n – 1)d. The number d is called the common difference because any two consecutive terms of an. arithmetic sequence differ by d, and it is found by subtracting any pair of terms an and. an+1.
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.
