You have the correct answer. It is choice B) -1/4

=======================================================

Explanation:

This is because we're adding -1/4 to each term to get the next one. In other words, we're subtracting 1/4 from each term to get the next one.

  • term2 = term1+(d) = 1/2 + (-1/4) = 1/2 - 1/4 = 2/4 - 1/4 = 1/4
  • term3 = term2+(d) = 1/4 + (-1/4) = 1/4 - 1/4 = 0
  • term4 = term3+(d) = 0 + (-1/4) = 0 - 1/4 = -1/4
  • term5 = term4+(d) = -1/4 + (-1/4) = -2/4 = -1/2

and so on.

----------

To find the common difference, all we have to do is subtract any term from its previous one.

For example:

d = (term2) - (term1)

d = (1/4) - (1/2)

d = (1/4) - (2/4)

d = (1-2)/4

d = -1/4

The order of subtraction matters, so we cannot say d = term1-term2.
