Question

How do I recognize geometric/arithmetic sequences used in real world situations?

Answer 1

Ways to be used:

• Uniform increase in the speed at regular intervals.
• Speed of an aircraft, finding the sum of n terms of natural numbers.
• increase or decrease in the costs of goods.
• fare of taxi,
• finding multiples of numbers within a range.
• sales and production are some more uses of Arithmetic Sequence.

Answer 2

The main difference between arithmetic and geometric sequence is that arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the difference between two consecutive terms is constant while a geometric sequence is a sequence where the ratio between two consecutive terms is constant.
