OpenStudy (amistre64):

and what if our starting term is .... does the statment hodl true or false?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

false??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

try it out, if its not going to hold then itll not hold for this .1(10) = 1 1(10) = 10 10(10) = 100 it holds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then its true

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what if the starting term is negative?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

-1(10) = -10 -10(10) = -100 that one is getting smaller in values

OpenStudy (amistre64):

does increasing mean getting more postive? or is it a relative thing and further from zero is bigger than closer to zero?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its true thank you
