Sequences Quiz

In a geometric sequence, each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant value called the common ratio. In an arithmetic sequence, each term is found by adding a constant value called the common difference to the previous term.

To identify a geometric sequence, you need to check if the ratio between consecutive terms is constant. If the ratio is constant, then the sequence is geometric.

To identify an arithmetic sequence, you need to check if the difference between consecutive terms is constant. If the difference is constant, then the sequence is arithmetic.
