how is a geometric sequence generated?

amistre64 · Answer

i spose a random number generator could produce a geometric sequence ...

amistre64 · Answer

seems to me like each value is getting larger then the last one ... so, the next one would have to be larger than 6, larger than 30, larger than 150, and larger than 750

anonymous · Answer

you multiply each time by 5

sammixboo · Answer

The pattern for this is x5, so what is 750 x 5?

amistre64 · Answer

its not asking for the next number,  but logically out of the 4, which could it be

anonymous · Answer

it equals 3750

anonymous · Answer

i'd say d maybe

sammixboo · Answer

Yes.

anonymous · Answer

is there a no answer available option?

anonymous · Answer

I know that. I just don't understand how to get the common ratio?? Is it 5?

anonymous · Answer

i am not sure

amistre64 · Answer

well, since 6*r = 30;  r = 30/6

amistre64 · Answer

30*r = 150 .. r = 150/30

anonymous · Answer

Were finding the common ratio. We know that its geometric because it multiplies by 5
