what is called arithamatic sequence

• Ans:
• Arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers that has a constant difference between every two consecutive terms.
• In other words, arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which each term except the first term is the result of adding the same number, called the common difference, to the preceding term.

             Example of Arithmetic Sequence

• The sequence 5, 11, 17, 23, 29, 35 . . . is an arithmetic sequence, because the same number 6 (i.e. the common difference) is added to each term of the sequence to get the succeeding term.
