Question

What is the common difference between successive terms in the sequence? 2, 8, 14, 20, 26, ... –6

Answer 1

Hey

Here is your answer,

AP : 2,8,14,20,26....

Common difference, d = second term - first term

= 8-2

=6

Hope it helps you!

Answer 2

Answer:

The common difference is 6    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence 2, 8, 14, 20, 26, ...

we have to find the common difference of the given sequence.

Arithmetic sequence: 2, 8, 14, 20, 26, ...

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers where each number is addition of previous term and a constant, called the common difference. To find the common difference we take any pair of successive numbers, and find the difference from right to left.

Common difference is

Second term - first term= 8-2=6

Third term - second term= 14-8=6

hence, the common difference is 6
