Answer 2

Confused, can you define what is the difference between the two?

Answer 3

Geometric sequence is when you multiply the last term by the same number everytime to get the next term.

Example: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32. You multiply by 2 each time.

Arithmetic sequence has the same difference between terms:

E.g. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12. Add two each time.

Answer 4

I thought it was different. Meh,

Still confused on what the answer is ;-;

Answer 5

Hint divide 2nd term by first term
divide third term by second term

Answer 6

@MissSmartiez Look at the numbers, having it arithmetic doesn't make much sense does it? Do what @welshfella said. :)

Answer 7

yes, but what sequence would that fall under.

Answer 8

Re-read what I wrote.

Answer 9

I was thinking geometric but,,,
