Question

What is the common difference between successive terms in the sequence? 0.36, 0.26, 0.16, 0.06, –0.04, –0.14, ... –0.1 –0.01 0.01 0.1

Answer 1

ok so you need help on this question only or do you have more than one

Answer 2

we have to find common difference between successive terms in the given sequence.

first sequence is ----> 0.36 , 0.26 , 0.16 , 0.06 , -0.04 , -0.14,......
here you can see that,
0.26 - 0.36 = 0.16 - 0.26 = 0.06 - 0.16 = -0.04 - 0.06 = -0.14 - 0.04 = -0.10

hence, common difference is -0.10


2nd sequence is -----> -0.1, -0.01 , 0.01, 0.1
here we can see that,
-0.01 - (-0.1) = 0.1 - 0.01 = 0.09
0.01 - (-0.01) = 0.01 + 0.01 = 0.02
0.1 - 0.01 = 0.9
here differentiate between two consecutive terms are varies so, this sequence is not in AP.
also it is not in GP because common ratio isn't constant.
