Answer 20

There are 2 types of a sequence.
\(\normalsize\color{black}{ \rm {Arithmetic}}\) A bunch of numbers that have a certain pattern of subtracting or adding some number.
For example \(\normalsize\color{black}{ 1,~3,~5,~7,~9....}\) you can see that the pattern here is to add a 2 to get a next number, right ?

or for example \(\normalsize\color{black}{ 4,~-1,~-6,~-11,~-16....}\) you can see that the pattern here is to subtract a 5 to get a next number, right ?



\(\normalsize\color{black}{ \rm {Geometric}}\) A bunch of numbers that have a certain pattern of multiplying or dividing by some number.
For example \(\normalsize\color{black}{ 1,~2,~4,~8,~16....}\) you can see that the pattern here is to multiply times 2 to get a next number, right ?

or for example \(\normalsize\color{black}{ 1,~-3,~~9,~-27,~~81....}\) you can see that the pattern here is to multiply times -1 to get a next number, right ?

or for example \(\normalsize\color{black}{ 1,~~~~1/4,~~~1/16,~~~1/64,~~~1/256....}\) you can see that the pattern here is to divide by 4 to get a next number, right ?

or for example \(\normalsize\color{black}{ 1,~~~~-1/5,~~~1/25,~~~-1/125,~~~1/625....}\) you can see that the pattern here is to divide by -5 to get a next number, right ?

Answer 21

This "sequence" can be an arithmetic or geometric, and doesn't have to start from 1, it can start from any number.
