1 A geometric sequence is one in which the same number is multiplied or divided by each element to get the next element in the sequence. 2  2, 4, 8, 16, ... is a geometric sequence.
An arithmetic sequence is when you are adding a constant term to get the the next value in the sequence. A geometric sequence is when you multiply by a constant term to get the next value in the sequence. Therefore #1 is geometric since the next term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by -2 and #2 is arithmetic since the next term is obtained by adding -20 to the previous term. a a Â· 3 years ago.
