Answer to Problem 57E

Yes the sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Given sequence is x+6,3x+6,5x+6,7x+6,..... .

Calculation: Given sequence is x+6,3x+6,5x+6,7x+6,..... .

Common difference is:

  a2−a1=3x+6−x−6=2xa3−a2=5x+6−3x−6=2xa4−a3=7x+6−5x−6=2x

Common difference is same.

Therefore the sequence is an arithmetic sequence..

Answer to Problem 57E

No the sequence is not an arithmetic sequence.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Given sequence is x+1,3x+1,9x+1,27x+1,..... .

Calculation: Given sequence is x+1,3x+1,9x+1,27x+1,..... .

Common difference is:

  a2−a1=3x+1−x−1=2xa3−a2=9x+1−3x−1=6xa4−a3=27x+1−9x−1=18x

Common difference is not same.

Therefore the sequence is not an arithmetic sequence..
