Term Definition 2, 4, 6, 8, ... A) Arithmetic, common difference is -4 28, 24, 20, 16, ... B) Geometric, common ratio is 0.5 2, 4, 8, 16, ... C) Geometric, common ratio is 2 48, 24, 12, 6, ... D) Arithmetic, common difference is 2 match them
What do you think?
Here is the difference between them: An arithmetic sequence is a sequence with the difference between two consecutive terms constant. The difference is called the common difference. A geometric sequence is a sequence with the ratio between two consecutive terms constant. This ratio is called the common ratio. Might help!
So, what do you think now?
No. 1 is definitely D because it's arithmetic and changes by 2.
what do you mean by two consecutive terms?
The terms right by each other.
would #3 be c ?
Yup! Way to go!
thank you
Number 4 would be B and Number 2 would be A.
Thanks. this was probably the easiest question i just had no idea where to even start
