Respuesta :

I am not 100% sure, but I think that it is arithmetic

Answer:

The sequence is arithmetic

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same and is called common difference

In this problem we have

[tex]3,9,15,21,...[/tex]

Let

[tex]a1=3, a2=9,a3=15,a4=21[/tex]

[tex]a4-a3=21-15=6[/tex]

[tex]a3-a2=15-9=6[/tex]

[tex]a2-a1=9-3=6[/tex]

The sequence is arithmetic

The common difference is equal to [tex]6[/tex]
