Question

What is the common difference of the arithmetic sequence 5, 8, 11, 14?

Answer 1

Answer:

The common difference is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

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

we have

$5,8,11,14$

so

$a1=5$

$a2=8$

$a3=11$

$a4=14$

$a2-a1=8-5=3$

$a3-a2=11-8=3$

$a4-a3=14-11=3$

therefore

The common difference is 3
