Question

the 5th term of an arithmetic sequence is 38 and 8th term is 62. | (a)- what is the common difference. | (b)- Will the difference between any 2 terms of this sequence be 100? Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a₅=38

a+4 d= 38-----1

a₈=62

a+7 d=62------2

from 2-1

a+7 d=62

-a-4 d=-38

3d=24

d=8

a+7(8)=62

a=6

No the difference between any terms wouldn't be zero

because the common difference is 6 & 100 is  not a multiple of 6
