Answer:
arithmetic sequence
Step-by-step explanation:
given the sequence
40 , 43 , 46 , 49 , 52
In an arithmetic sequence there is a common difference d, between consecutive terms.
Here
43 - 40 = 3
46 - 43 = 3
49 - 46 = 3
52 - 49 = 3
A common difference of d = 3 exists between consecutive terms
Thus the sequence is arithmetic
