Chapter 12 - Section 12.2 - Arithmetic Sequences - 12.2 Exercises - Page 857: 23

Answer

Yes -3/2

Work Step by Step

To find out whether it is an arithmetic sequence we subtract all consecutive terms from each other. If they are all equal to each other we know it is an arithmetic sequence and the subtraction's result will be our common difference. In this case, when we subtract all consecutive terms, we get a common difference of -3/2.
