1. If in a sequence, you obtain the next

term by adding a constant number, then
the sequence is _______________?
Arithmetic
 Arithmetic Sequence
It is a sequence where each new term
after the first is obtained by adding a
constant d, called the common
difference.
 How do you determine if the
sequence is arithmetic or not?

To determine whether a sequence is an

arithmetic sequence, you need to identify
whether there is a common difference
between terms.
 The nth term of arithmetic sequence is

where
