Q. Find the common difference of the arithmetic sequence −19,−26,−33,…Answer:
Identify Pattern: Identify the pattern in the arithmetic sequence.The sequence given is −19, −26, −33, ...To find the common difference, subtract the first term from the second term.Calculation: −26−(−19)=−26+19=−7
Find Common Difference: Verify the common difference by subtracting the second term from the third term.Calculation: −33−(−26)=−33+26=−7Check if the result is the same as the previous step.
Verify Consistency: Conclude that the common difference is consistent throughout the sequence.Since both differences calculated are −7, the common difference of the sequence is −7.
