Answer:

No. The sequence is not arithmetic, but rather geometric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic Sequence

Arithmetic Sequence is a sequence that has common difference.

To find a common difference:-

[tex] \displaystyle \large{a_{n + 1} - a_n = d}[/tex]

Thus:-

20-100 = -80

4-20 = -16

Since both are not common, the sequence is not arithmetic.

Geometric Sequence

Geometric Sequence is a sequence that has common ratio.

To find a common ratio:-

[tex] \displaystyle \large{ \frac{a_{n + 1}}{a_n} = r}[/tex]

Thus:-

20/100 = 1/5

4/20 = 1/5

Since both are common, the sequence is geometric.
