Differencing helps because for a linear function, the change from one point to the next is constant. By taking successive differences, the linear trend is removed, leaving a series that fluctuates around a constant mean, which satisfies the stationarity requirement for ARMA models.
Conditions: The original series has an approximately linear trend with noise.; The goal is to achieve stationarity for modeling.
