In an arithmetic sequence the same number (positive or negative) is added to each term to get to the next term.In a geometric sequence the same number (positive or negative) is multiplied into each term to get to the next term.A geometric sequence uses multiplicative and divisive formulas while an arithmetic uses additive and subtractive formulas.
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! You see, a microprocessor uses a method called Two's Complement to represent negative numbers. In Two's Complement, the most significant bit (leftmost bit) indicates the sign of the number - 0 for positive and 1 for negative. So, when the microprocessor sees that leftmost bit as a 1, it knows it's dealing with a negative number. Just a little twist of the bits to bring balance and harmony to the numbers!
