Expert Solution

Step 1

(a)

Given depths of the mining shafts are

$- 44, - 152, - 92, - 68, - 140, - 116, - 56, - 104, - 128$

Write the number in decreasing order as follows:

$- 44, - 56, - 68, - 92, - 104, - 116, - 128, - 140, - 152$

Starting with Monday, draw the table as follows:

	Meters below the surface
Monday	-44
Tuesday	-56
Wednesday	-68
Thursday	-92
Friday	-104
Monday	-116
Tuesday	-128
Wednesday	-140
Thursday	-152
Friday

Therefore, the required solution is $- 44, - 56, - 68, - 92, - 104, - 116, - 128, - 140, - 152$

Step 2

(b)

The common difference is

	Meters below the surface	Common difference
Monday	-44	-56+44 = -12
Tuesday	-56	-68+56 = -12
Wednesday	-68	-92+68 =-24
Thursday	-92	-104+92 =-12
Friday	-104	-116+104 = -12
Monday	-116	-128+116 = -12
Tuesday	-128	-140+128 = -12
Wednesday	-140	-152+140 = -12
Thursday	-152
Friday

Here the common difference is multiple of $- 12$ .
