Question

What is the common difference for this arithmetic sequence?
31, 48, 65, 82, ...

Answer 1

d = 17

Explanation:

The given arithmetic sequence is :

31, 48, 65, 82, ...

We need to find the common difference for this sequence.

First term, a₁ = 31

Second term, a₂ = 48

Common difference = a₂-a₁

= 48-31

= 17

So, the common difference for this arithmetic sequence is equal to 17.
