Question

For the following arithmetic progressions write the first term a and the common difference d : (i) (ii) (iii) (iv)

Philoid · Accepted Answer

(i)

First term, a = -5

Common difference, d = -1 – (-5)

= -1 + 5 = 4

First term, a =

Common difference, d = - =

First term, a = 0.3

Common difference, d = 0.55 – 0.30 = 0.25

First term, a = -1.1

Common difference, d = -3.1 – (-1.1)

= -2
