Is this sequence arithmetic, geometric, or neither? 5, 10, 7, 12...
To determine if the sequence is arithmetic, geometric, or neither:
1.Arithmetic Sequence:
Calculate the differences between consecutive terms:
10 - 5 = 5
7 - 10 = -3
12 - 7 = 5
The differences are 5, -3, 5, which are not constant. Therefore, the sequence is not arithmetic.
2.Geometric Sequence:
Calculate the ratios between consecutive terms:
