Answer:
Option (d) is correct.
The common difference in the following arithmetic sequence is 11.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given sequence,
n [tex]a_n[/tex]
1 -12
2 -1
3 10
4 21
We have to find the common difference of the given arithmetic sequence,
Common difference of an arithmetic sequence can be find by subtracting the term from the term preceding it.
[tex]a_1=-12,\ a_2 =-1,\ a_3=10,\ a_4=21[/tex]
Finding difference between the terms,
[tex]a_2-a_1=-1-(-12)=-1+12=11\\\\a_3-a_2=10-(-1)=10+1=11[/tex]
Thus, the common difference in the following arithmetic sequence is 11.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
Answer:
11 is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given a arithmetic sequence.
12,-1,10,21
We have given 4 terms of arithmetic sequence.
a₁=-12 , a₂ = -1 , a₃ = 10 and a₄ = 21
We have to find common difference in the sequence.
Common difference is defined as the difference between consecutive terms.
d = a₂-a₁
Putting values in above formula, we have
d = -1-(-12)
d = -1+12
d = 11
Hence, common difference in the given sequence is 11.
