Asap identify the sequence as arithmetic, geometric, both, or neither. 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, . . geometric neither arithmetic both

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

sequence as

2 , 5, 10 , 17 , 26

we will check arithmetic and geometric

Arithmetic:

we know that common difference must be same for arithmetic

first term =2

second term =5

third term =10

we can see that common differences are different

so, it is not arithmetic

Geometric:

we know that common ratio must be same for geometric

first term =2

second term =5

third term =10

So, we can see that common ratios are different

so, this can not be geometric

So,

Neither is answer

hi there!

the answer will be d: 2
