ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE

An arithmetic (or linear) sequence is a sequence of numbers in which each new term is calculated by adding a constant value to the previous term

GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE

A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers in which each new term (except for the first term) is calculated by multiplying the previous term by a constant value.
