The first term of an arithmetic sequence is -3 and the fifteenth term is 53. What is the common difference of the sequence?
A) 14/13
B) 25/7
C) 4​

Respuesta :

Answer:

       C)  4

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of arithmetic sequence is   [tex]a_n=a_1+d(n-1)[/tex]

So:

    [tex]a_{15}=a_1+d(15-1)\\\\53=-3+14d\\\\56=14d\\\\d=\dfrac{56}{14}=4[/tex]
