Emilio's Bakery is getting more and more orders for blackberry pies. The bakers made 16 blackberry pies in December, 48 blackberry pies in January, 144 blackberry pies in February, and 432 blackberry pies in March. What kind of sequence is this? arithmetic or geometric

This is what i found “an explicit formula designates the nth term of the sequence, as an expression of n (where n = the term's location). it defines the sequence as a formula in terms of n. this example is an arithmetic sequence(the same number, 5, is added to each term to get to the next term).” i hope this you for what your looking for. can you plz mark me brainliest?
