classify as arithmetic, geometric, or neither. Finally find an explicit formula (rule for the nth term) for each.
Designate the first term with
n = 1.
ii)2b,4b,6b,8b,10b,12b,14b

anonymous · Answer

if a2-a1=a3-a2=a4-a3=...=an-an-1 ,then arithmetic.
if a2/a1=a3/a2=a4/a3=...=an/an-1,then geometric.

directrix · Answer

The common difference is 2b. That is, each term is 2b more than the previous term. So, is the sequence arithmetic or geometric?
