Answer
Neither
Work Step by Step
We are given that $ a_n=n^2+5$
Here, we have the first four terms $ a_1=6, a_2=9,a_3=14,a_4=21$ when $ n=1,2,3,4$
Now, subtract each two consecutive terms as below: $ a_2-a_1=9-6=3; a_3-a_2=14-7=5; a_4-a_3=21-14=7$
and $ a_2/a_1=\dfrac{9}{6}=\dfrac{3}{2}; a_3/a_2=\dfrac{14}{9}; a_4/a_3=\dfrac{21}{14}=\dfrac{3}{2}$
It has been seen that we did not get the same constant, so the sequence is neither a geometric sequence nor an arithmetic sequence.
