Arithmetic Sequences

Question 11 • CR - Algebra 2 26-27 - S1

Which of the following is an arithmetic sequence?

Answer
A
–20, –25, –30, –35, –45, ...
B
–15.6, –12.9, –10.2, –7.5, –4.8, ...
C
3.1, 6.2, 12.4, 24.8, 49.6, ...
D
7.2, 3.6, 1.8, 0.9, 0.45, ...

Explanation

An arithmetic sequence has the same difference between every pair of consecutive terms. In choice B, each term increases by 2.7: −12.9 − (−15.6) = 2.7, and the next differences are also 2.7. The other choices do not have a constant difference.
