You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the arithmetic sequence of numbers 1,3,5,7,9,...to find the following:What is d, the difference between any 2 terms?
a1=1, a2=3, a3=5, a4=7, and a5=9
in arithmetic sequences
d=a2-a1=3-1=2
d=a3-a2=5-3=2
d=a4-a3=7-5=2
d=a5-a4=9-7=2
If you find any two consecutive terms in an arithmetic sequence, they will all have the same difference like that.
Happy Calculating!!!!
