Arithmetic means each term changes based on adding or subtracting.
Geometric means each term changes based on multiplication (or division).
1. You are adding 6 to get to each successive term.
2. You are multiplying by 3/2 to get each successive term.
3. You are adding 10 to get to each successive term.
4. You are multiplying by four to get each successive term.
5. You are subtracting 2 to get each successive term.
6. You are multiplying by 3/4 to get each successive term.
Apply the rule I established above and this problem is finished!
