Answer:

an arithmetic sequence is a sequence with the difference between two consecutive terms constant. A geometric sequence is a sequence with the ratio between two consecutive terms constant.

Answer:

A sequence is a set of numbers, called terms, arranged in some particular order. An arithmetic sequence is a sequence with the difference between two consecutive terms constant. The difference is called the common difference.

Hopefully that helps ! (:
