Describe and explain the difference between explicit formulas for arithmetic sequences and explicit formulas for geometric sequences.

Arithmetic sequence:  

Geometric sequence:

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic sequence: is the sequence whos terms increased or decreased by a constant amount.

Examples:

The explicit formula for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence is:

The geometric sequence: is the sequence whos consecutive terms have a constant ratio

Examples:

The explicit formula for the nth term of the geometric sequence is:

* Arithmetic sequence          →→→→→→   Geometric sequence

 Has a constant difference    →→→→→→    Has a constant ratio

                   →→→→→→    

                           →→→→→→
