Common Difference: The constant number being added to each term in an arithmetic
sequence.
Arithmetic Means - are the terms between given terms of an arithmetic sequence.
terms is called the common ratio. The common ratio can be found by dividing
Geometric sequence
To insert a Geometric mean between two (2) terms means to get the square
To insert Geometric means between two terms requires the use of the rule
