Given that

The sequence is 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45. And we have to find the growth rate and the type of the sequence.

Step-by-step explanation -

As the sequence is 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45.

The arithmetic sequence is the sequence that has a constant growth by adding or subtracting.

The geometric sequence is the sequence that has a constant growth by multiplying or dividing.

So from the sequence, it is very clear that 10 is been added to the number to get the new number.

Hence it is an arithmetic progression(AP)

and the growth factor is 10.

Final answer -

Therefore the final answer is AP and 10.
