Which sequences are geometric? Check all that apply. –2.7, –9, –30, –100, ... –1, 2.5, –6.25, 15.625, ... 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, ... 8, 0.8, 0.08, 0.008, ... 4, –4, –12, –20, ...

find the common ratio for three terms taken two at a time . if it is same then it is geometric.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does geometric mean you multiply by the same number every time?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is geometric correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You multiply by 3.333.... every time

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got A,B,E

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Hint: there are 2 more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All of them are geometric?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Check out E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see! It doesn't multiply by the same number every time

OpenStudy (welshfella):

-4/4 = ? -4 / -12 = ??

OpenStudy (welshfella):

right B is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4/4= -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4/-12 is 0.333...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so not E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is check all that apply so ab or b?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because you multiply by 10 every time

OpenStudy (welshfella):

No B is correct The common ratio for B is -2.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But it is check all that apply so it's B for sure

OpenStudy (welshfella):

D also - common ratio is 1/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you!

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is 3.333... so is that also the answer
