Yes, the given sequence is arithmetic.
To identify the common difference, we subtract each term from its previous term:
–22 - (-16) = -6
–29 - (-22) = -7
–37 - (-29) = -8
The common difference between each term in the sequence is -9.
Is the following sequence arithmetic? If so, identify the common difference.
–16, –22, –29, –37, . . .

Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's re-evaluate the sequence.
To determine if the given sequence is arithmetic, we need to check if there is a common difference between consecutive terms.
The sequence is: -16, -22, -29, -37, ...
To find the common difference, we subtract each term from its previous term:
-22 - (-16) = -22 + 16 = -6
-29 - (-22) = -29 + 22 = -7
-37 - (-29) = -37 + 29 = -8
As the differences are not constant, the given sequence is not arithmetic. There is no common difference.
