Question

1. Create the data to fill in the tables below. The Coins table must be an arithmetic sequence and the Points table must be a geometric sequence. The common difference or ratio cannot equal 1 or 0.

I just need help understanding what makes the data a geometric sequence and a arithmetic sequence.

Answer 2

i can create the data I just need help like giving me examples of a arithmetic and geometric sequence.

Answer 3

Hmmm..... What grade are you in....? and what class is this for?

Answer 4

10th grade algebra 2

Answer 5

Okay, let me see if I have an example in one of my books! I am taking Algebra 2 as well!

Answer 6

ok I know what a geometric sequence is now it is a given set of numbers with a common ratio

Answer 7

an arithmetic sequence has to do with adding and a geometric sequence has to do with multiplying.

2,4,6,8,10 is an arithmetic sequence because the difference is found by adding 2 each time.

5,10,20,40 is a geometric sequence because the difference is found by multiplying by 2 each time.

Answer 8

Well then! :P lol

Answer 9

ok so my sets of data could be
2,4,6,8 and 2,4,8,16

Answer 10

2,4,6,8 is an arithmetic sequence with a ratio of 2
2,4,8,16 is a geometric sequence with a ratio of 2

Answer 11
