Question 1 • CA-Algebra I A – 6002

Which sequence represents an arithmetic sequence?

Answer
A
−5, −7, −10, −14, −19, …
B
1.5, −1.5, 1.5, −1.5, …
C
4.1, 5.1, 6.2, 7.2, …
D
−1.5, −1, −0.5, 0, …

Explanation

An arithmetic sequence has the same difference between each pair of consecutive terms. In choice D, each term increases by 0.5: −1.5 to −1, −1 to −0.5, and −0.5 to 0. The other sequences do not have a constant difference.
