Answer:

An arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence (AP) is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant. For instance, the sequence 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, . . . is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 2.

A geometric sequence goes from one term to the next by always multiplying or dividing by the same value. The number multiplied (or divided) at each stage of a geometric sequence is called the common ratio. Examples of geometric sequences are the frequencies of musical notes and interest paid by a bank.
