t1 = 1

t2 = -2

t3 = -5

t4 = -8

common difference (d) = t2 – t1 = -2-1 = -3

= t3-t2= -5 – (-2) = -3

hence, the common difference is -3

2. To find the common difference
Formula is :-
D= a2-a1
-2-1 = -3

So -3 is the common difference between A1 and a2
Do the same prossece with A3 and a2
D= a3-a2 = -5-(-2)=-3

So the difference between all the A.p is -3
