Neither.

It could be polynomial (of order 4 or more) or something else.

Is 3 6 12 24 48 an arithmetic sequence?

No, geometric, common ratio 2


Is the sequence 3 5 7 9 geometric or arithmetic or neither?

It is arithmetic because it is going up by adding 2 to each number.


What is the geometric mean and the arithmetic mean of 7 x sqrt3 and 21 x sqrt3?

The arithmetic mean is simply (7+21)sqrt(3)/2 = 14sqrt(3) = 24.25 (to 2 d.p.) The geometric mean is sqrt [ 7sqrt(3) x 21sqrt(3) ] = sqrt [ 7 x 21 x 3 ] = sqrt [21 x 21] = 21


What describes the sequence 1 1 2 3 5 is it arithmetic or geometric?

It is an arithmetic sequence. To differentiate arithmetic from geometric sequences, take any three numbers within the sequence. If the middle number is the average of the two on either side then it is an arithmetic sequence. If the middle number squared is the product of the two on either side then it is a geometric sequence. The sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and so on is the Fibonacci series, which is an arithmetic sequence, where the next number in the series is the sum of the previous two numbers. Thus F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2). Note that the Fibonacci sequence always begins with the two numbers 0 and 1, never 1 and 1.


Is the sequence 2 3 5 8 12 arithmetic or geometric?

The sequence 2, 3, 5, 8, 12 is neither arithmetic nor geometric. In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is constant, while in a geometric sequence, the ratio between consecutive terms is constant. In this sequence, there is no constant difference or ratio between consecutive terms, so it does not fit the criteria for either type of sequence.

What is the difference between an arithmetic and geometric sequence?

An arithmetic sequence is a series of numbers in which each term is obtained by adding a constant value, called the common difference, to the previous term. In contrast, a geometric sequence is formed by multiplying the previous term by a constant value, known as the common ratio. For example, in the arithmetic sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, the common difference is 3, while in the geometric sequence 3, 6, 12, 24, the common ratio is 2. Thus, the primary difference lies in how each term is generated: through addition for arithmetic and multiplication for geometric sequences.


What is the geometric mean of 2 and 4?

3mean is the average, so 2 + 4 = 6; 6 / 2 = 3* * * * *The above is the arithmetic mean which is NOT the same thing as the geometric mean.The geometric mean of n non-negative numbers is the nth root of their product.So GM(2, 4) = sqrt(8) = 2.828 (approx).

Can a recursive formula produce an arithmetic or geometric sequence?

arithmetic sequence * * * * * A recursive formula can produce arithmetic, geometric or other sequences. For example, for n = 1, 2, 3, ...: u0 = 2, un = un-1 + 5 is an arithmetic sequence. u0 = 2, un = un-1 * 5 is a geometric sequence. u0 = 0, un = un-1 + n is the sequence of triangular numbers. u0 = 0, un = un-1 + n(n+1)/2 is the sequence of perfect squares. u0 = 1, u1 = 1, un+1 = un-1 + un is the Fibonacci sequence.

Is -2-6-18-54-162-468-1458 geometric or arithmetic?

It is neither. (-6) - (-2) = -4 (-18) - (-6) = -12 which is not the same as -4. Therefore it is not an arithmetic progression - which requires the difference between successive terms to be the same. Also -162/-54 = 3 -468/-162 = 2.88... recurring, and that is not the same as 3. Therefore it is not a geometric progression - which requires the ratio of terms to be the same.


Are the numbers 24711 arithmetic or geometric and what are the next two terms in the sequence?

The numbers 2, 4, 7, 11 are neither strictly arithmetic nor geometric. In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is constant, while in a geometric sequence, the ratio between consecutive terms is constant. Here, the differences between terms are 2, 3, and 4, suggesting a pattern of increasing increments. Following this pattern, the next two terms would be 16 (11 + 5) and 22 (16 + 6).
