Which of the following is an arithmetic sequence?
a -7/11,6/11, -5/11, 4/11
b -3/4, -3/5, -3/6, -3/7
c 1/2,2,7/2,5
d 3/4,-3/2, 3, -6

Respuesta :

I think it's D, because 3/4 x 2 = - 3/2
and then - 3/2 x - 2 = 3
3 x - 2 = - 6

Hope that helps <3

The sequence 3/4,-3/2, 3, -6 is the arithmetic sequence.

Common difference

The difference between two successive terms of an arithmetic progression is known as a common difference.

How to check the common difference?

(a)

We will find the common difference between each term of the given sequences by subtracting a term and its previous term.

[tex](\frac{6}{11}- \frac{-7}{11}) \neq (\frac{-5}{11} -\frac{6}{11} )\neq (\frac{4}{11} -\frac{-5}{11})[/tex]

[tex]\frac{13}{11}\neq \frac{-11}{11}\neq \frac{9}{11}[/tex]

So, option (a) is incorrect.

(b)

We will take the common difference between the terms.

[tex](\frac{-3}{5} -\frac{-3}{4} )\neq (\frac{-3}{6} -\frac{-3}{5} )\neq (\frac{-3}{7} -\frac{-3}{6} )\\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{20} \neq \frac{3}{30}\neq \frac{3}{42}[/tex]

So, option (b) is also incorrect.

(c)

We will take the common difference between the terms.

[tex](2-\frac{1}{2} )= ( \frac{7}{2}-2 )= (5 - \frac{7}{2} )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{2}= \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Since the difference between the terms is common.

Thus, option (c) is correct.

(d)

We will take the common difference between the terms.

[tex](\frac{-3}{2}- \frac{3}{4})\neq (3-\frac{3}{2})\neq (-6-3)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-18}{2}\neq \frac{9}{2}\neq (-9)[/tex]

So, option (d) is incorrect.
