(viii) In the given sequence, we have:
t1 = –10, t2 = –13, t3 = –16 and t4 = –19
Thus, we have:
t2 – t1 = –13 + 10 = –3
t3 – t2 = –16 + 13 = –3
t4 – t3 = –19 + 16 = –3
Because the difference between any two consecutive terms is constant, which is –3, the given sequence is an arithmetic progression with common difference –3.
