Algebra-1

To determine if the sequence is arithmetic, geometric, or neither, let's examine it:

1.Arithmetic Sequence:

Calculate the differences between consecutive terms:

-6 - 8 = -14

4 - (-6) = 10

-2 - 4 = -6

The differences between the terms are -14, 10, -6, which are not constant. Therefore, the sequence is not arithmetic.

2.Geometric Sequence:

Calculate the ratios between consecutive terms:
