What is an arithmetic sequence?

Back

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which the difference between consecutive terms is constant. For example, 2, 5, 8, 11 is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 3.

What is a geometric sequence?

Back

A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio. For example, 3, 6, 12, 24 is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2.

What is the rate of change in an exponential function?

Back

The rate of change in an exponential function is proportional, meaning it changes at a rate that is dependent on the current value of the function. This results in a curve that increases or decreases rapidly.

How can you identify an arithmetic sequence from a set of numbers?

Back

To identify an arithmetic sequence, check if the difference between consecutive terms is constant. If the differences are the same, it is an arithmetic sequence.
