Question

Determine if the sequence below is arithmetic or geometric and determine the common difference / ratio in simplest form. 4,\, 5,\, 6,\, ... 4,5,6,...

Answer 1

it is arithmetic, 6-5=1, 5-4=1

Answer 2

The given sequence is arithmetic because the difference between consecutive terms is constant. The common difference is 1, since the difference between each pair of consecutive terms is 1 (e.g., 5 - 4 = 6 - 5 = 1). The common difference can be expressed in simplest form as 1/1 = 1.
