Algebra-1

To determine if the sequence is arithmetic, geometric, or neither:

1.Arithmetic Sequence:

Calculate the differences between consecutive terms:

8 - 4 = 4

4 - 8 = -4

8 - 4 = 4

The differences are 4, -4, 4, which are not constant. Therefore, the sequence is not arithmetic.

2.Geometric Sequence:

Calculate the ratios between consecutive terms:
