What is the common difference in the sequence (-3, 2, 7, 12, ...)

an=a1+d(n−1) a n = a 1 + d ( n - 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence since there is a common difference between each term. In this case, adding −5 to the previous term in the sequence gives the next term. In other words, an=a1+d(n−1) a n = a 1 + d ( n - 1 ) .

step-by-step explanation:

one day the were 5 ducks, and their king told them to multiply their kingdom. so each went their own seperate way and met 4 other ducks on their journey.

when the ducks returned to their kingdom, it was discovered that there were 5 groups of 5 ducks. when the kind counted the number of ducks in total (including the ones he sent out earlier) he counted 25.

therefore 5 times 5 is 25.

the end. : )
