Question

Zoe keeps track of the miles per gallon her car gets per week. She has accumulated the following data: (1, 24), (2, 24.38), (3, 24.76), (4, 25.14) What is the common difference or ratio? (1 point)

Answer 1

Answer:

Difference of .38

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add .38 to x1 then you get x2

Answer 2

In order to find the common difference of the data in the problem you have to follow those steps

we know that

In an Arithmetic Sequence the difference between one term and the next is a constant. This constant is called common difference

Let

$x1=1\ y1=24$

$x2=2\ y2=24.38$

$x3=3\ y3=24.76$

$x4=4\ y4=25.14$

so

$y2-y1=24.38-24=0.38$

$y3-y2=24.76-24.38=0.38$

$y4-y3=25.14-24.76=0.38$

therefore

the answer is

the common difference is $0.38$
