Answer:

arithmetic


Step-by-step explanation:

It is  arithmetic because the terms go up by 15 . That is the common difference is 15.

Answer:

it is an arithmetic sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

general formula of arithmetic progression is

an=a1+(n-1)d

we are given

a1=1

a2=16

we can find d

d=a2-a1=16-1=15

d=a3-a2=31-16=15

d=a4-a3=46-31=15

as we can see that there is a common difference d =15 between successive terms  of the this sequence

hence it is a arithmetic sequence
