What makes a sequence arithmetic?

Is It an Arithmetic Sequence? No.

Practice makes perfect
When a sequence is arithmetic, the difference between two consecutive terms is constant. Examining our sequence, we can see that this is not the case.

9 +9 → 18 +18 → 36 +36 → 72 Note that the difference between terms is not constant. Therefore, the sequence is not arithmetic.
