Um your picture wont show do it again
The common difference if there is one is the constant difference that occurs between any term and the term before it.... in this case:
There is no common difference,
dx=18,20,16,18 the difference or velocity is not constant...
d2x=2, -4,2 the acceleration is not constant...
d3x=-6,6 the thrust is not constant
Now we might be tempted to say that:
d4x=12 and say that that is constant and we COULD make a quartic equation fit all the data points, but without further data points in the sequence there is no mathematical proof that the quartic equation would produce accurate data points outside of the range given...
And solving a system of five equations for five unknowns is tedious for such a problem...a^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e=y

Answer:
B) -4, - 1, 2, 5, 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope it helps you in your learning process
For 1 play, the chance of gaining $8 is 4/38, while the chance of losing the $1 is 34/38. Therefore, the expected value is ($8)(4/38) + ($-1)(34/38) = $(-1/19). Over 50 plays, which are mutually independent of each other, we multiply the number of plays by the expected value to get $(-50/19) = $-2.63.
