Key Concepts

Common Difference

The common difference is the constant value that is added (or subtracted) to each term of the arithmetic sequence to obtain the next. It is a crucial element in defining the sequence's behavior, allowing for the derivation of a general formula for any term in the sequence.

Arithmetic Sequence

An arithmetic sequence is an ordered list of numbers where each term after the first is obtained by adding a fixed constant to the preceding term. This constant addition results in a linear progression that makes it possible to determine any term in the sequence using the first term and the common difference.
