Step 1:

The definition of arithmetic sequence is,
The arithmetic sequence is sequence where the difference between the two successive term is constant
Step 2:

The formula of the nth term of the sequence is,
\(a_{n} = a_{1} + (n - 1)d\)
Where, \(a_{n}\) repreesnts nth term.
\(a_{1}\) repreesnts 1th term d repreesnts the common difference

For Exercise, determine if the nth term of the sequence defines an arithmetic sequence, a geometric sequence, or neither. If the sequence is arithmetic, find the common difference d. If the sequence is geometric, find the common ratio r. \(a_{n} = 5 \pm \sqrt{2n}\)
