Study the sequences (0, 6, 12, 18, 24, . .) and (1, 6, 36, 216, 1,296, . and answer these questions:
which of the two sequences is an arithmetic sequence?
what is the common difference of the arithmetic sequence?
can you think of any other mathematical relationship that exhibits a common difference between numbers?

In the first sequence, subtracting the previous term from each term starting from the second one gives these values:

6 – 0 = 6, 12 – 6 = 6, 18 – 12 = 6, and 24 – 18 = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of the terms is constant. This sequence is an arithmetic one, with the common difference being 6.

Just by looking at the terms in the second sequence, (1, 6, 36, 216, 1,296, . . .), it’s clear that the difference of the consecutive terms is not common. This sequence is not an arithmetic sequence because it is based on the multiply by 6 rule.

Like arithmetic sequences, linear equations show a common difference between numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

introduction, methodology, results, discussion

step-by-step explanation:

an observational study is one which consists of actual observation to record data and then analyse the data.

there are a number of factors that should be analyzed before starting an observational study.

the main four factors are:

i) introduction:   this should be analysed to check whether the purpose of the study is correctly established and the data recorded are appropriate for the study

methodology:   the method of collecting the data, such as whether randomly selected, and whether sample size matches with the population to be studied, whether questions asked are easy to answer by common men, etc.

results: then results such as summary of data with comments should be studied thoroughly

discussion:   the last is the discussion, this can be either by management people or persons who are all interested , etc.
