A geometric sequence has a common ratio between terms.
An arithmetic sequence has a common difference between terms.
If a sequence of Real numbers is both a geometric sequence and an arithmetic sequence then it is constant.
Note I say Real numbers. The sequence 1,−1,1,−1,... is both an arithmetic and geometric sequence in modulo 4 arithmetic, with common difference 2 and common ratio −1.
