You can put this solution on YOUR website! Arithmetic progression is when you get to the next term of a sequence by ADDING a fixed quantity (called the common difference d) to the previous term. Examples are -3, -1, 1, 3, 5, ...,(d = 2) and 3/2, -3/2, -9/2, -15/2,....(here d = -3).
Geometric progression is when you get to the next term of a sequence by MULTIPLYING a fixed quantity (called the common ratio r) to the previous term. Examples are 1, -1/2, 1/4,-1/8,... (r=-1/2), and 3, 9, 27,81,... (here r = 3).
