hello:

the arithmetic sequence 9, - 1, - 11, - 21 has common difference:

d = (-21) - (-11) = (-11) - (-1) = (-1) - (9) = - 10

sequence is defined recursively using the formula f (n + 1) = f (n) - 5 (arith - seq)

is : C) 3, - 2, - 7, - 12, ...

because : (-12) - (-7) = (-7) - (-2) = (-2) - (3) = - 5 = d (common difference)
