Question

An arithmetic sequence is represented by the number of squares in each term. Determine the common difference of the arithmetic sequence. (1 point)

terms 1: 2 terms 2: 6 terms 3: 10 terms 4: 14




4
14
6
2

Answer 1

The common difference can be calculated by subtracting the number of squares in one term from the number of squares in the previous term. Let's do the calculations:

6 - 2 = 4
10 - 6 = 4
14 - 10 = 4

Therefore, the common difference of the arithmetic sequence is 4.
