                      Checks if a progression is arithmetic or not. An arithmetic series is the sum of a sequence in which each term is computed from the previous one by adding (or subtracting) a constant d:

                      ak=ak-1+d=...=a1+d(k-1)

                      Syntax

                      arithmetic?(Progression)
                      
                      arithmetic?(Expression, Identifier)
                      

                      Description

                      Given a progression, returns a list. If the progression is not arithmetic, the list just contains an element: false. Else, the list has two elements: true and the value d, following the notation above.

                      Given the expression of the general term and the variable, returns a list. If the progression given by the expression is not arithmetic, the list just contains an element: false. Else, the list has two elements: true and the value d, following the notation above.
