@Loser66 I have this and 1 more question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aww ur offline v.v

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@OrangeMaster do you know this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just give me a second. I've learned this, but I just have to go refresh my memory. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure thing :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first one is C. Geometric sequences are when you are multiplying or dividing the numbers, and arithmetic sequences are when you are adding or subtracting the numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OOOOOOOOHHHH :D Thanks 4 info!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The second one is B. This is because it says "difference" this means arithmetic. In 'B' you can see that the next numbers are each having 1.5 added.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D thanks! I have 1 more question left!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are the first four terms of a geometric sequence if the common ratio is 10 and the first term is 4.5? A. 4.5,.45,.045,.0045 B. 4.5,9.0,13.5,18.0 C. 4.5,14.5,24.5,34.5 D. None of the above
