Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, it is an arithmetic sequence. An arithmetic sequence has a certain defined pattern between numbers. If we take this sequence "1,4,7,11,15,20,25" we can see that they have a pattern: to go from 1 to 4 there are 3 numbers, so we can say it's + 3. Between 4 and 7, we also have + 3. However, between 7 and 11, we have + 4 and the same happens with 11 and 15. Moreover, between 15 and 20, that's a + 5 and 20 and 25 is another + 5. So we have a + n repeating twice, which makes me conclude that this sequence goes like; + 3+3+4+4+5+5+6+6+7+7+8+8+9+9 ... and so on ...
