Verify Consecutive Differences: Let's verify if the differences between consecutive terms are uniform. Given sequence: 706,706,706,706,ext... Are the consecutive differences in the sequence equal? 706−706=0, 706−706=0, 706−706=0. The consecutive differences in the sequence are equal and are all zero.
Check Equal Ratios: Let's check whether the ratios between consecutive terms are defined and equal. Given sequence: 706,706,706,706,ext... Are the ratios between consecutive terms in the sequence equal? Since all terms are the same, the ratio of any term to the previous term is 706/706=1. The sequence has a common ratio of 1.
Sequence Classification: Arithmetic sequence: Consecutive terms have a common difference. Geometric sequence: Consecutive terms have a common ratio. The sequence 706,706,706,706,… has both a common difference of 0 and a common ratio of 1. Therefore, it can be considered both an arithmetic sequence (since the difference is constant) and a geometric sequence (since the ratio is constant).
