What is the difference between arithmetic and geometric sequences?
The key difference between arithmetic and geometric sequences lies in how the terms are generated.
In an Arithmetic Progression (AP), the difference between any two consecutive terms is constant, referred to as the common difference.
In contrast, a Geometric Progression (GP) is defined by a constant ratio between consecutive terms, known as the common ratio. These differences in structure give rise to different formulas and methods for calculating terms and sums in each sequence.
