In any given arithmetic progression, how is the 'common difference' strictly derived?
Test yourself: pick an answer
Reveal answer & explanation
Correct answer: B) By subtracting any term from the term that strictly follows it.
Explanation
The common difference (d) is defined as the constant value added to each term to get the next. Mathematically, it is found by taking any term (a_n) and subtracting the previous term (a_{n-1}).
