    The document discusses arithmetic and geometric sequences. Arithmetic sequences have terms with a common difference, with the general explicit formula being an = a1 + (n-1)d, while geometric sequences have terms with a common ratio, with the general explicit formula being an = a1r^(n-1). Examples of arithmetic sequences include ones with explicit formulas of an = 17 + 10(n-1) and an = 13 - 6(n-1). Examples of geometric sequences include ones with explicit formulas of an = 3(2^(n-1)) and an = 52(1/3^(n-1)).
