Answer:

No

Explanation:

No, this is not an arithmetic sequence because it goes up by a different number each time.

An example of an arithmetic sequence would be,

3, 5, 7, 9...

because it increases by 2 each time.

A geometric sequence is multiplied or divided by a set number each time.

An example would be,

2, 4, 8, 16...

because it is multiplied by 2 each time.
