Answer:

Arithmetic

Explanation:

Since each number is 12 larger than the last, this is an arithmetic sequence. A geometric sequence is one in which each next number in the sequence is the previous one multiplied by a certain set coefficient, while in an arithmetic sequence it's a certain number added. Hope this helps!

Answer:

It is arithmetic because to get from one term to the next, you add 12, and in an arithmetic sequence, you add/subtract a common difference to get from one term to the next. Hope this helps!
