Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 4x - 45 = 0
(x - 9)(x + 5) = 0
x = 9 or -5
x² - 25 = 0
(x + 5)(x - 5) = 0
x = 5 or -5
-5 is a common factor between both of them
No, the given sequence is not an arithmetic sequence.
What is Arithmetic Sequence ?
An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers with a definite pattern. If you take any number in the sequence then subtract it by the previous one, and the result is always the same or constant then it is an arithmetic sequence.
In the above question,
The sequence is 3,5/2,3/2,-3/2,...
Take the 2nd term and minus the 1st term.
Now take the 3rd term and minus the 2nd term.
We can clearly notice that the differences are not same. Hence there is no common difference and therefore it's not an arithmetic sequence
