In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between any two consecutive numbers is same, that difference is called as common difference.
Given sequence is 4,9,14,19,24....
So lets find out the common difference
common difference `d= a_n - a_(n-1)`
`a_2 - a_1 = 9 - 4 = 5 `
`a_3 - a_2 = 14 - 9 = 5 `
`a_4 - a_3 = 19 - 14 = 5 `
`a_5 - a_4 = 24 - 19 = 5 `
The common difference of the sequence is same. So, the given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.
