is this sequence arithmetic? If so, identify the common difference. 14,21,42,77,......

OpenStudy (ranga):

It is not an arithmetic sequence because the difference between consecutive terms is not a constant. The difference between the first two terms is: 21 - 14 = 7. The difference between the second and third term is: 42 - 21 = 21. So the differences are not the same and therefore the sequence is not arithmetic.
