5. Solving Quadratic Equations by Using the Quadratic Formula
Sign In
Calculate the difference and ratio between consecutive terms. Is either of these the same throughout the sequence?
Neither
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 ratios nor the differences are the same. Therefore, the sequence is neither geometric nor arithmetic.
