An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference between each consecutive pair of terms. ... A geometric sequence has a constant ratio between each pair of consecutive terms. This would create the effect of a constant multiplier.
How do you know if a sequence is geometric?
- Divide each term by the previous term.
- Compare the quotients. If they are the same, a common ratio exists and the sequence is geometric.
What is the difference between geometric progression and arithmetic progression?
In an arithmetic progression, each successive term is obtained by adding the common difference to its preceding term. In a geometric progression, each successive term is obtained by multiplying the common ratio to its preceding term.
