OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (radar):

L:ook at your sequence 1: Note that the common ratio is -2, like the next term in you sequence would be -160 What does that tell you? The fact you have a common multiple (-2) between the adjacent sequence members?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oopss..i meant to say, geometric. ._.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not geographic xD

OpenStudy (radar):

The 2nd sequence, you are adding a -25 to each term to get the next term, in the problem you have the next term is -65. Since there is a common difference between each term, what kind of sequence is this:?

OpenStudy (radar):

Yes first sequence is geometric.
