Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic - Sequences with such patterns are called arithmetic sequences. In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same. For example, the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9 ... is arithmetic because the difference between consecutive terms is always two.

Geometric - In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-one number called the common ratio. For example, the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, ... is a geometric progression with common ratio 3.
