An aritmetic sequence is like this
a_n=a_1+d(n-1) where a1=first term and d=common difference

geometric is a_n=a_1(r)^{n-1} where a1=first term and r=common ratio


can it be both aritmetic and geometric
hmm, that means that the starting terms should be the same

therfor we need to solve d(n-1)=(r)^{n-1}
what values of d and r make all natural numbers of n true?
are there values that make all natural numbers for n true?

when n=1, then d(1-1)=0 and r^(1-1)=1, so already they are not equal

the answer is no, a sequence cannot be both aritmetic and geometric
