B. False

Answer 1

1) Don't post problems with no work shown.
2) An arithmetic sequence is characterized by what?

Answer 2

A

Answer 3

you dont have to be a jerk @tkhunny

Answer 4

im sorry im not on a computer that i can show workon

Answer 5

Gee thnx...........

Answer 6

No one is being a jerk. I have suggested the actual rules you agreed to follow when you created a User ID. Show your work. There is no excuse for any other behavior.

Please ignore the answer supplied by Sydney and answer my question. The answer will lead you to a correct solution.

Answer 7

Hogwash. If you can type words, you can communicate your work. Answer my question.

Answer 8

@sydneymmelin You're welcome to hang around and see the correct solution if you like.

Who will answer the question? What characterizes an Arithmetic Sequence?

Answer 9

It may help if you find and type in an example of an arithmetic sequence and then do the same for an example of a geometric sequence. Knowledge of the formats of these two different types of sequences is essential if you're to correctly answer the problem at hand.

Answer 10

?? Isn't that the same question I asked? Who will answer it?

Answer 11

the same change over and over to the numbers.

Answer 12

Excellent. Do that to two pairs of numbers

10.1 - 10.0 = ??
10.01 - 10.1 = ??

Do you get the same thing?

Answer 13

Dawson: I can see some truth and some fact in your response. Just with it were clearer. What kind of "change" are you talking about?

And, Dawson, I'd like for you to provide an example of a geometric sequence.

Answer 14

no

Answer 15

decimal change?

Answer 16

Done. Not Arithmetic and move on to the next problem. Good work.

For Geometric Sequences, do the same thing, only use division, rather than subtraction.

Answer 17

or the placement of the one

Answer 18

Show us what you mean.

Answer 19

Dawson, show us what you mean by "change over and over to the numbers." when discussing "arithmetic sequence". Why not save time by looking up the formulas for arith. and geom. sequences?

Answer 20

With those in front of you, answering this question should become easy.

Answer 21

"same change"
