* in an arithmetic sequence to obtain the next entry you add/subtract a fixed amount to current entry, in this case add 6.4
* in a geometric sequence you multiply/divide the current entry by a fixed amount to get the next one, in this case divide by 3
(subtraction is the same as addition but using a negative number, and similarly division is equivalent to multiplication)
