The first four terms of a sequence are given. Can these terms be the terms of an arithmetic sequence?
38,22,6,10,...
Yes, the sequence is arithmetic.
No, the sequence is not arithmetic.
If the sequence is arithmetic, find the common difference d. (If the sequence is not arithmetic, enter DNE.)
d=?

Here for each consecutive term of the sequence, a constant is added to get the next term.
Therefore given is an arithmetic sequence.
d = second term - first term
=22(38)
=22+38
=16
