Now lets do it using the geometric method that is repeated multiplication, in this case we start with x goes from 0 to 5 and our sequence goes like this: 1, 2, 2 2=4, 2 2 2=8, 2 2 2 2=16, 2 2 2 2 2=32. The conflicts have made me more confused about the concept of a dfference between Geometric and exponential growth.

- does the proof above make sure that $a_n$ is not arithmetic? a sequence cannot be arithmetic and geometric at the same time, right? 2) what about more complex expressions? like $b_n=ln (n)$? how do I quickly see if it is arithmetic or geometric sequence?
On Wikipedia, the terms Exponential Growth and Geometric Growth are listed as synonymous, and defined as when the growth rate of the value of a mathematical function is proportional to the function's

It’s well known that the geometric mean of a set of positive numbers is less sensitive to outliers than the arithmetic mean. It’s easy to see this by example, but is there a deeper theoretical reas...

3 A clever solution to find the expected value of a geometric r.v. is those employed in this video lecture of the MITx course "Introduction to Probability: Part 1 - The Fundamentals" (by the way, an extremely enjoyable course) and based on (a) the memoryless property of the geometric r.v. and (b) the total expectation theorem.
