I think its A but can someone tell me if i'm right? Identify which of the sequences below is a geometric sequence. A. 2, 4, 6, 8, ... B. 3, 6, 18, 54, ... C. 2, 6, 18, 54, ... D. 2, 6, 18, 36, ...
Nevermind i think it is C
A geometric sequence is when the next number is found by multiplying. ok..you changed your answer to C....that is correct
So a geometric sequence will always b multiplied?
D is correct. Geometric sequences have a common ratio, i.e. the ratio between consecutive terms are always equal.
yes...and an arithmetic sequence is added
So arent D and C both multiplied? Theyre both correct.
C's common ratio is 3 while d's is 2
no....they need a constant ratio that is the same. The constant ratio for C is 3. D does not have a constant ratio that stays the same. Understand ?
D does not have the same common ratio...it is not 2
oh wow i was looking at a different problem
Yeah its C, my bad
I was looking at
yep...its C
Identify which of the sequences below is a geometric sequence. A. 1, 3, 5, 7, –9, … B. 2, 4, –6, 8, 10, … C. 2, 5, 7, 10, 12, … D. 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, …
what do you think ?
D
yep..its D, with the common ratio being 2
Alright, thank you.
anytime :)
