In an arithmetic progression the difference between each term (except the first) and the one before is a constant. In a geometric progression, their ratio is a constant. That is, Arithmetic progression U(n) - U(n-1) = d, where d, the common difference, is a constant and n = 2, 3, 4, ... Equivalently, U(n) = U(n-1) + d = U(1) + (n-1)*d Geometric progression U(n) / U(n-1) = r, where r, the common ratio is a non-zero constant and n = 2, 3, 4, ... Equivalently, U(n) = U(n-1)*r = U(1)*r^(n-1).

there is no difference between Mathematics and Arithmetic because Arithmetic is a branch of mathematics. there is no difference between Mathematics and Arithmetic because Arithmetic is a branch of mathematics.
This question is impossible to answer without knowing the difference between successive terms of the progression.
To check whether it is an arithmetic sequence, verify whether the difference between two consecutive numbers is always the same.To check whether it is a geometric sequence, verify whether the ratio between two consecutive numbers is always the same.
