8,18,28,38,48
what is the next term?
i came up with 10 am i correct?
is this consider arithmetic or geometric?
10 is not the next term.

To determine the pattern in the sequence 8, 18, 28, 38, 48, we need to identify the common difference or ratio between the terms.
In this case, we can see that each term is obtained by adding 10 to the previous term. Therefore, the common difference is 10.
If we continue this pattern, the next term should be obtained by adding 10 to the last term in the sequence, which is 48. So, the next term would be 48 + 10 = 58.
Therefore, the next term in the sequence is 58, not 10.
Regarding whether this sequence is arithmetic or geometric, it is an arithmetic sequence. In an arithmetic sequence, the terms are obtained by adding a constant value (common difference) to the previous term. Since each term in this sequence is obtained by adding 10 to the previous term, it follows an arithmetic pattern.
