Algebra-1

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

1.Arithmetic Sequence:

Calculate the differences between consecutive terms:

2 - 1 = 1

2 - 2 = 0

4 - 2 = 2

8 - 4 = 4

The differences are 1, 0, 2, 4, which are not constant. Therefore, the sequence is not arithmetic.

2.Geometric Sequence:

Calculate the ratios between consecutive terms:
