Parth (parthkohli):
No, but what in the world does your question mean? By difference, does it mean derivative?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah
Parth (parthkohli):
OK, I don't understand that question, Mr. Troll

but the second has a constant of 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and it starts off with 4
Parth (parthkohli):
So the second difference is 11 or 18?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im sure you can figure this out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no it would be 13 so from 4 +9 which leads to 13
