This sequence is referred to as a geometric sequence.
The first term is 5
The second term is 5 x (6/5)
The third term is 5 x (6/5) x (6/5) = 5 x (6/5)2
The fourth term will be 5 x (6/5)3
…
The n-th term will be 5 x (6/5)n-1
…
The 9th term will then be 5 x (6/5)8 ≈ 21.499

The sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric. Three terms are insufficient to determine otherwise. Check the post for accuracy.06/24/22
