Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences

Decide if the sequence is arithmetic, geometric or neither:
10, 20, 30, 40, . ..

• Arithmetic

• Geometric

• Neither

Geometric sequences involve

• multiplication and division

• multiplication and addition

• addition and subtraction

• subtraction and division

Which kind of sequence has a common difference?

• Arithmetic

• Geometric

What is the common ratio of the geometric sequence?

-3, 12, -48, 192, -768, . . .
