The sequence is \"\"

\

Find the ratios of consecutive terms.

\

\"\"             (\"\" term)

\

\"\"         (\"\" term)

\

\"\"                 (\"\" term)

\

The ratios are not constant.

\

So, the sequence is not geometric.

\

\"\"

\

Find the differences of consecutive terms.

\

\"\"             (\"\" term)

\

\"\"                (\"\" term)

\

\"\"                (\"\" term)

\

The common differences is not constant.

\

So, the sequence is not arithmetic.

\

Thus, the sequence is neither geometric nor arithmetic.
