Exercise 11 Page 310

Calculate the difference and ratio between consecutive terms. Is either of these the same throughout the sequence?

Neither

Practice makes perfect

We want to identify the given sequence as arithmetic, geometric, or neither. To do so, we will calculate the difference and ratio between consecutive terms.

We can see above that neither the differences nor the ratios are the same. Therefore, the sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric.
