Question 2 • FL-1200330-Algebra 2 Sem 1 - Flex

Which best describes the relationship between the successive terms in the sequence below?–3.2, 4.8, –7.2, 10.8, …

Answer
A
The terms have a common difference of 8.
B
The terms have a common difference of 1.6.
C
The terms have a common ratio of –1.5.
D
The terms have a common ratio of –0.67.

Explanation

Divide each term by the one before it: 4.8 ÷ (−3.2) = −1.5, and −7.2 ÷ 4.8 = −1.5. The same ratio also takes −7.2 to 10.8, so the sequence has a common ratio of −1.5. Choice C is correct.
