Explanation:
#"the standard arithmetic sequence is"#
#a,a+d,a+2d,a+3d,...... ,a+(n-1)d#
#"where a is the first term and d is the "color(blue)"common difference"#
#•color(white)(x)d=a_2-a_1=a_3-a_2=a_n-a_(n-1)#
#"here "d=9-4=14-9=19-14=5#
#"there is a common difference of 5 between the terms"#
#rArr"the given terms form an arithmetic sequence"#
