If terms are defined by A_n=4n−9, what does A_15−A_14 represent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Common difference

Calculate the two consecutive terms using the given rule. A_15=4(15)−9=51 and A_14=4(14)−9=47, so A_15−A_14=51−47=4. More generally, A_(n+1)−A_n=[4(n+1)−9]−[4n−9]=4. Since this value is constant, the sequence is an arithmetic progression, and the difference between any two consecutive terms is its common difference. Therefore option B is correct. The expression does not represent the first term, because the first term would be A_1; it does not represent the number of terms, because no finite list is specified; and it does not represent a last term, because A_15−A_14 is a difference, not a term. The governing idea is that a linear nth-term formula A_n=an+b has common difference a.
