Since the <u>difference between consecutive terms is not constant</u>, the sequence is not arithmetic.
In an arithmetic sequence, the <u>difference between consecutive terms is constant</u>, called common difference d.
A recursive formula is given by:
In which is the first term.
In this problem:
- The terms are: 100, 135, 149, 165, 188.
- 135 - 100 = 35, 149 - 135 = 14, that is, the differences are not constant, so this is not an arithmetic sequence.
