Actually i'm not doing fine. we're learning about Arithmetic sequence in math and i'm so confused!
Hi Ellyza how are you?
Oh! I have a friend who can teach you.
How about later? I'll just text you is that okay?
I don't know how to determine if a sequence is an arithmetic sequence let alone how to determine the pattern of one.
The common difference? what does that mean?
Ok, well you need to fine the common difference of the pattern.
a, a ......1 2
4,6,8,10
The common difference is the pattern beetweem the number in an arithmetic sequence. so, if we have a sequence of numbers such as 4,6,8,10 we'd take the 2nd number and subtact the 1st number.
d=6-4 =4d=8-6 =2d=10-8 =2
D= Common difference d= a -a 2 1
it is an arithmetic sequence.
a, a ......1 2
4,6,8,10
so then, how would we determine if isn't an arithmetic sequence
So the common difference of this of this sequence number would be 2 because of the common difference is the same throughout.
The common difference would not be the same throughtout. The common difference has to be the same for it to be an arithmetic sequence.
d=6-4 =4d=8-6 =2d=10-8 =2
D= Common difference d= a -a 2 1
it is an arithmetic sequence.
4,7,1,14
Well, the common difference is 3 beetween the first two sets of number but not the third, so it isn't an arithmetic sequence
Oh ok!
d= 7-4 =3d= 10-7 =3d= 14-10 =14
here you try. Your sequence of number are 4,7,10,14
it is NOT an arithmetic sequence.
4,7,1,14
Oh ok, That's not bad! They're pretty fun actually!!
