Answer

$\{2,2.2,2.22,...\}$ is NOT an arithmetic sequence

Work Step by Step

In the given sequence, $\{ 2,2.2,2.22,... \},$ the differences of a term and its previous term are \begin{align*}\require{cancel} a_2-a_1&= 2.2-2 \\&= 0.2 ,\\\\ a_3-a_2&= 2.22-2.2 \\&= 0.02 .\end{align*} Since the differences of a term and its previous term are NOT the same, then $ \{2,2.2,2.22,...\}$ is NOT an arithmetic sequence
