Determining if a sequence of numbers is Arithmetic or Geometric

The video tutorial explains how to identify and solve a sequence problem. It begins by introducing a sequence of numbers and asks whether it is arithmetic or geometric. The teacher explains the characteristics of both types of sequences, focusing on common differences and ratios. Through calculations, it is determined that the sequence is geometric, and the next term is calculated by doubling the previous term.

What are the two types of sequences discussed in the text?

How can you determine if a sequence is arithmetic or geometric?

What is the common difference in an arithmetic sequence?

Explain why the sequence 10, 5, 20, 10 is not arithmetic.

What is the next term in the sequence 5, 10, 20, 40?
