Identify if the sequence is arithmetic or geometric. Then find the next number in the sequence? 1.9, 4.9, 7.9, 10.9, 13.9, ...

arithmetic; d = 3; 16.9

Step-by-step explanation:

4.9 - 1.9 = 3

7.9 - 4.9 = 3

10.9 - 7.9 = 3

13.9 - 10.9 = 3

--

13.9 + 3 = 16.9

1. Arithmetic 2. 16.9

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you will need to know the difference between an arithmetic and a geometric.

   An arithmetic is a sequence where a person is adding the same number over and over again so lets say you start with 1 and the common difference (the number being added each time) is 2, the sequence will look something like this 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and so on.

   A geometric sequence is when the same number is being multiplied over and over again. So lets say that the number we start with is 2 and you are multiplying by three every single time, so you would get a sequence looking like this 2, 6, 18, 54 and so on.

   We can see in the sequence that the number that is being added over and over again is 3 so the first answer is arithmetic.

Now that we know that the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is 3 we can plug that into the equation and we will see that 13.9 + 3 is 16.9
