How do you find the next three terms in an arithmetic sequence?

Back

Add the common difference to the last known term to find the next terms.

Back

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which the difference between consecutive terms is constant.

Front

How do you identify the first term and common difference in a sequence?

Back

The first term is the initial number in the sequence, and the common difference is the consistent amount added or subtracted to get from one term to the next.
