To determine the rule for generating the next term in the sequence \(23, 19.5, 16, 12.5, \ldots\), we need to check how the numbers progress:
1. \(23 - 19.5 = 3.5\)
2. \(19.5 - 16 = 3.5\)
3. \(16 - 12.5 = 3.5\)
We can see that each term decreases by \(3.5\). Therefore, we are subtracting \(3.5\) from the previous term.
This means that the correct statement is:
**Add the common difference of −3.5.**
The answer is "Add the common difference of −3.5."
1. \(23 - 19.5 = 3.5\)
2. \(19.5 - 16 = 3.5\)
3. \(16 - 12.5 = 3.5\)
We can see that each term decreases by \(3.5\). Therefore, we are subtracting \(3.5\) from the previous term.
This means that the correct statement is:
**Add the common difference of −3.5.**
The answer is "Add the common difference of −3.5."
