Linear Sequence
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in
which any two consecutive terms have a
common difference.

The sequence 2,6,10,14,18, 22 is an example of a


linear sequence with term-to-term rule of “add 4” or
common difference d = 4.
Write yes if the given sequence is an arithmetic
sequence and no if not. If yes, identify the
common difference (d).
1. YES Term-to-term rule is ‘subtract 3’

2. NO

3. YES Term-to-term rule is ‘subtract 1/2’


The first term of a sequence is 4.
The term-to-term rules is: multiply by 2.
