Q. Type the missing number in this sequence:76, ____, 72, 70, 68
Find Pattern: First, let's find the pattern by subtracting each number from the previous one. Start from the end of the sequence.Calculation: 70−68=2, 72−70=2
Identify Arithmetic Sequence: The differences are consistent, showing a decrease of 2 each time. This suggests an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of −2.
Find Missing Number: To find the missing number, subtract 2 from 76.Calculation: 76−2=74
Verify Correctness: Now, let's check if 74 fits correctly by subtracting it from 72.Calculation: 72−74=−2
