Answer 
Common difference = -4.5

Explanation. 
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which the next term is found by adding a constant to the current term. This constant is called the common difference.
If a, b, c, d, e, ….is an arithmetic sequence, then the common difference will be,
Common difference = b-a=c-b=d-c=e-d…..
Now the question above common difference is;
Common difference = (-22.5)-(-14)=-4.5

A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-m-wide harbor. the tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the ea

Scilla [17]

The velocity or speed of the kayaker going north at a speed of 3 m/s and that of the current going east at a speed of 2 m/s create a resultant speed of √13 m/s. The new distance that has to be traveled by the kayaker in order to move 100 m north is calculated through the equation,
3 / √13 = 100 / x
The value of x is 120 m. The total time it will take for the kayaker to reach the destination is,
t = 120 / √13 = 33.33 s
