Given the sequence:
4.5, 3.25, 2, 0.75
Determine the next term.
Solution:
In order to determine the next term, we simply needed to subtract the 1st term to the 2nd term to find for the common difference.
Common Difference = 2nd term - 1st term
Common Difference = 3.25 - 4.5
Common Difference = -1.25
Add -1.25 to 0.75 in order to determine the next term.
= 0.75 - 1.25
= -0.5
Final answer:
= - 0.5
