Question

Arithmetic Sequence question - What is the d value in the following arithmetic sequence? -7, -2, 3, 8, .. please help:)

Answer 1

the common difference d is just the difference between the consecutive terms.

d= 2nd term - 1st term = 3rd term - 2nd term = ...and so on

Answer 2

here

d = -2 - (-7) = ...
or
d = 3- (-2) = ...

or
d = 8-3 = ...

Answer 3

so the D value is basically an equation?

Answer 4

no, its a number
its the difference between consecutive terms

Answer 5

let me give you an example

10,20,30,40....

here d = 20-10 = 30-20 = 40-30 = \(\ \Large 10 \)

Answer 6
