In arithmetic sequence, let the first tern of the arithmetic sequence be, a, and the common difference, d, then the nth term, Tn, of the arithmetic sequence is given by:

T_n=a+(n-1)d

For a linear function with y-intercept, c, and slope, m, the linear function is given by:

y=mx+c

Comparing the equation of the arithmetic sequence and that of the linear function, we can see that y is compared to Tn, a is compared to c, m is compared to d, and x is compared to n - 1.

Therefore, <span>the common difference in an arithmetic sequence is like the slope of a linear function as both are multiple of a variable.</span>

One side of a square is 3x + 2. Which expression represents the perimeter?
MissTica

Your answer would be 12x + 8 because there are 4 sides to a square and they are all 3x + 2, so you would need to multiply 3x + 2 by 4 which you can do by expanding brackets which gives you 4(3x + 2) and thus when you multiply it out you get 12x + 8. I hope this helps!
