An arithmetic sequence increases at a constant rate. A good example is multiples of 3 3 6 9 12 15 18 Each number equals the next number by a difference of three.
A good example of a geometric sequence is the powers of 2 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 Here, you see, the difference between the numbers is constantly increasing.
<span>An arithmetic sequence is a sequence with the difference between two consecutive terms constant. The difference is called the common difference.<span>A geometric sequence is a sequence with the ratio between two consecutive terms constant.</span></span>
