28, 24, 20, 16, … B) Arithmetic, common difference is 2
2, 4, 8, 16, … C) Geometric, common ratio is 2
48, 24, 12, 6, … D) Geometric, common ratio is 0.5

Answer 1

Can you tell me the difference between arithmetic and geometric

Answer 2

arithmetic is the difference between 2 consecutive terms constant and geometric has a ratio between 2 consecutive constant i think

Answer 3

You said the same thing haha, yes both are constant but one is something constantly being added and the other is constantly multiplied. Do you know which one is which?

Answer 4

im so sorry i actually have to eat dinner now is there a specific time ur on?

Answer 5

Not really, but a good way to eliminate choices is to look at the common difference or common ratio. The term ratio and difference are for either arithmetic or geometric. Once you figure out which one is which you can figure that out too :)
