Is this sequence arithmetic, geometric, or neither? 8, 24, 72, 216, …
To determine if the sequence is arithmetic, geometric, or neither:
1.Arithmetic Sequence:
Calculate the differences between consecutive terms:
24 - 8 = 16
72 - 24 = 48
216 - 72 = 144
The differences are not constant, so the sequence is not arithmetic.
2.Geometric Sequence:
Calculate the ratios between consecutive terms:
