if the sequence is arithmetic, geometric or neither with explanation.
Answer to Problem 105E
Neither arithmetic nor geometric sequence
Explanation of Solution
Given information: We have given a sequence
First of all check the differences of next terms to previous terms of the given sequence.
We could see that differences of next terms to previous terms are not same. Therefore, it’s not an Arithmetic sequence.
Now, we need to check for the ratios of next terms to previous terms to determine if it is a geometric sequence.
We could see that ratios of next terms to previous terms are not same. So, it’s not a Geometric sequence.
Therefore, the given sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric sequence.
