Calculate the common difference of 8; 16; 24
16 - 8 = ?
24 - 16 = ?
8 and 8
Show that sequence (3n-7) is an A.P. Find the first term and common difference.
To calculate the common difference of a given arithmetic sequence, you need to find the difference between any two consecutive terms.
In this case, let's take the first two terms of the sequence, 8 and 16.
To find the difference between these two terms, we subtract the smaller term from the larger term:
16 - 8 = 8
Therefore, the common difference of the sequence 8, 16, 24 is 8.
