The given sequence is
a₁, a₂, ...,

Because the given sequence is an arithmetic progression (AP), the equation satisfied is

where
d = the common difference.
The common difference may be determined as
d = a₂ - a₁
The common difference is the difference between successive terms, therefore
d = a₃ - a₂ = a₄ - a₃, and so on..
The sum of the first n terms is

Example:
For the arithmetic sequence
1,3,5, ...,
the common difference is d= 3 - 1 = 2.
The n-th term is

For example, the 10-term is
a₁₀ = 1 + (10-1)*2 = 19
Th sum of th first 10 terms is
S₁₀ = (10/2)*(1 + 19) = 100
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The common factor is 19

Answer:
See below:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello! We can check to see if the inequality is true by replacing r with 18 as we have been told to find them in which 18 as r makes the equation true.
So our equations to test for are:

We can input 18 as r and then we see the following are correct:
1. No, as a -21 is not greater than -6
2. Yes, as -15 is less than 6.
3. No, as 21 is not greater than 6
4. No, as -15 is not greater than 6.
Cheers!
