The common difference between successive terms in the given sequence can be found by subtracting each term from the next one.
Let’s break it down:
- Second term (8) – First term (2) = 8 – 2 = 6
- Third term (14) – Second term (8) = 14 – 8 = 6
- Fourth term (20) – Third term (14) = 20 – 14 = 6
- Fifth term (26) – Fourth term (20) = 26 – 20 = 6
As we can see, the difference between each pair of successive terms is consistently 6. Therefore, the common difference in this sequence is 6.
