is 1/3,2/3,1,4/3 arithmetic ?
\[\frac 23 - \frac 13 = \frac 13 \\\\\\ \frac 14 - \frac23 = \frac{3}{12} - \frac{8}{12} = -\frac{5}{12}\] does that answer your questin?
:s not really , it says if they are state the common difference
oops lol sorry read the question wrong
it was 1, 4/3 i thought it was 1/4
\[\large \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{3}\] \[\large 1 - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3}{3} - \frac 23 = \frac 13\] does that answer your question now?
Basically, if you take each pair of numbers and subtract them, and the answer is always the same, there is a common difference. And if there is a common difference, then there is an arithmetic sequence.
thanks guys ! im taking these quizes on my online class so i can graduate this friday. :D
i wish my graduation depended on solving fractions :(
my whole online class if just algebra :( not my strongest
