The common difference of an arithmetic sequence is the difference between any two consecutive terms.
In this case, the common difference can be found by subtracting the previous term from the next term.
(3/4) - (7/4) = -4/4 = -1
(-1/4) - (3/4) = -4/4 = -1
(-5/4) - (-1/4) = -4/4 = -1
So, the common difference of the sequence is -1.
What is the common difference of the arithmetic sequence 7/4 3/4 - 1/4 - 5/4….?
