Determine whether the following sequence is arithmetic, geometric, or neither. 1, 4, 9, 16, arithmetic geometric neither

Neither.for a sequence to be arithmetic, the difference between a term and the term before it has to be constant (common difference)2nd term minus 1st term4 - 1 = 33rd term minus 2nd term9 - 4 = 54th term minus 3rd term16 - 9 = 7the difference is not constant. not arithmetic.for a geometric seq, ratio of a term to the term before has to be common (common ratio)4 / 1 = 4 9/4 is not 4so not geometric.neither.
