Answer 1

How do you suppose we start solving this problem?

Answer 2

truthfully i don't have a clue

Answer 3

First identify if it is an arithmetic or geometric sequence.

Is the sequence increasing/decreasing by a common difference (the same number) ?

Or is the sequence increasing/decreasing by a common ratio?

Answer 4

Lol I cant spell today

Answer 5

tbh bro ur talking another language

Answer 6

Increasing/decreasing by a common difference

1,3,5,7,9,11
Rule: Increasing by 2

100, 90, 80, 70, 60
Rule: Decreasing by 10

Increasing/decreasing by a common ratio

2,4,8,16,32,64,128,
Rule: Increasing by a common ratio of 2

80,40,20,10,5, 2.5
Rule: Decreasing by a common ratio of 1/2

Answer 7

Are you more confused or less confused now?

Answer 8

more

Answer 9

What do you not get?

Answer 10

the Explicit rule

Answer 11

does it cuss?

Answer 12

Oh. You don't understand the rules?

Answer 13

no

Answer 14

Arithmetic sequences: addition/subtraction

Geometric sequences: multiplication/division

Is it adding by a number, or multiplying by a number.

Example of Arithmetic:

Every day America's economy grows by $1
+1


Example of Geometric:

Every day America's economy grows by 2 times
x2

Answer 15

OHHH

Answer 16

Say Americas economy in both scenarios is $1,500

Arithmetic: 1500, 1501, 1502, 1503, 1504, 1505
Just adds by 1

Geometric: 1500, 3000, 6000, 12000, 24000
Just keeps multiply by 2

Makes sense?

Answer 17

yeah

Answer 18

So what is our current problem doing? Arithmetic? Or Geometric?
