Dividing is the same as multiplying by it's reciprocal
multiplying is the same as dividing by it's reciprocal. 

reciprocal is the fraction flipped. 

(e.g. 3/4 -> 4/3... 1/2 -> 2/1)

Tell whether the sequence is arthmetic. Common difference (-3,-7,-10,-14)

Burka [1]

Answer:

Not an arithmetic sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sequence to be arithmetic there must be a common difference between consecutive terms.

- 7 - (- 3) = - 7 + 3 = - 4

- 10 - (- 7) = - 10 + 7 = - 3

- 14 - (- 10) = - 14 + 10 = - 4

The differences are not common , hence not an arithmetic sequence

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$n,\ n+2,\ n+4-\text{three consecutive even integers}\\\\\text{The equation:}\\\\n+(n+2)+(n+4)=-72\\\\n+n+2+n+4=-72\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\3n+6=-72\qquad\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\\\3n+6-6=-72-6\\\\3n=-78\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\\dfrac{3n}{3}=-\dfrac{78}{3}\\\\n=-26\\\\n+2=-26+2=-24\\\\n+4=-26+4=-22$
