jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

look at choice A divide the second term by the first term

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what do you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 1.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.35/0.25=1.4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now divide the third number by the second number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.45/0.35=1.285714286

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

is that the same as the last result

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noo :/

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so choice A isn't geometric

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk i see...

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

each term divided by its previous term must give you the same number everytime

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B is right?? cuz its all multiplied by 6 act time?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

**each not act lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep, B is definitely geometric

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk and so is C right?? i keep getting 1.66666666667 is C also geometric?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk and D is not right?? so my answers are B and C?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
