Is this sequence arithmetic, geometric, or neither? 51, -51, 51, -51, …
To determine if the sequence is arithmetic, geometric, or neither:
1.Arithmetic Sequence:
Calculate the differences between consecutive terms:
-51 - 51 = -102
51 - (-51) = 102
The differences are not constant, so the sequence is not arithmetic.
2.Geometric Sequence:
Calculate the ratios between consecutive terms:
