Complete the sequence:
Complete the sequence:
The sequence provided starts with the numbers . To determine the continuation, we begin by calculating the difference between each pair of consecutive numbers.
Step 1: Calculate the difference between and :
.
Step 2: Calculate the difference between and :
.
We observe that each successive number in the sequence increases by . This confirms that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of .
Step 3: Continue the sequence by adding to the last number:
The next number after is .
The number after is .
The number after is .
The number after is .
Thus, the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of .
Comparing the sequence to the choices, we find that the matching option is:
Therefore, the correct answer is:
