Summary Exercises on Sequences and Series Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences Given a sequence a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, c , • If the differences a2 - a1, a3 - a2, a4 - a3, a5 - a4, c are all equal to the same number d, then the sequence is arithmetic, and d is the common difference. • If the ratios a2 a1 , a3 a2 , a4 a3 , a5 a4 , c are all equal to the same number r, then the sequence is geometric, and r is the common ratio. Determine whether each sequence is arithmetic or geometric.
