Constant Differences in Sequences

The video tutorial explains how to determine if a sequence of numbers follows a linear pattern by finding the constant difference between each number. It suggests using a number line for visualization and demonstrates calculating the difference between numbers in the sequence. The tutorial concludes by confirming the constant difference is positive 8.

What is the main task in determining if a sequence follows a linear pattern?

• Identifying the constant difference

• Finding the sum of all numbers

• Determining the highest number

• Calculating the average of the sequence

How do you find the constant difference in a sequence?

• By examining the difference between each pair of consecutive numbers

• By subtracting the smallest number from the largest

• By adding all numbers together

• By multiplying all numbers

What tool is suggested to help visualize the differences between numbers in a sequence?

• A number line

• A ruler

• A calculator

• A graph

What is the difference between -43 and -35 on a number line?

• 6

• 7

• 8

• 9

What is the constant difference found in the sequence from -35 to -27?

• Positive 8

• Positive 7

• Positive 9

• Positive 6

What is the constant difference from -27 to 19?

• Positive 9

• Positive 11

• Positive 8

• Positive 10

What is the constant difference from 9 to 11?

• Positive 3

• Positive 2

• Positive 1

• Positive 4

What makes the differences in the sequence constant?

• They are all different

• They are all negative

• They are all zero

• They are all the same
