To find: Whether the given sequence is arithmetic, geometric, or neither.
Answer to Problem 10.4EP
The sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given sequence is
Calculation:
In an arithmetic sequence, each term is determined by adding a constant value to the previous term. This constant value is called the common difference.
In the geometric sequence, check for the common ratio.
Find the common difference as follows.
As, there is no common difference, so, the sequence is not arithmetic.
Find the common ratio.
As, there is no common ratio, so, the sequence is not geometric as well.
Therefore, the sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric.
