Question

Which statement describes the method used to establish an expression or procedure for an arithmetic sequence?

A. Summing up the terms of the sequence
B. Applying the formula for exponential growth
C. Adding a common difference to each term
D. Dividing the sequence by a constant term

Answer 1

The method used to establish an expression or procedure for an arithmetic sequence is by adding a common difference to each term.

Step-by-step explanation:

The method used to establish an expression or procedure for an arithmetic sequence is by adding a common difference to each term. This is described in statement C.

For example, consider the arithmetic sequence: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14. The common difference is 3 (adding 3 to each term) and this pattern continues throughout the sequence.
