Question 5 • FL-1200370-Algebra 1-A Semester 1

Which sequences are geometric? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
–2, –4, –6, –8, –10, …
B
16, –8, 4, –2, 1
C
–15, –18, –21.6, –25.92, –31.104, …
D
4, 10.5, 17, 23.5, 30, …
E
625, 125, 25, 5, 1, …

Explanation

A sequence is geometric if the ratio between each term and the one before it stays constant. In B, each term is multiplied by −1/2; in C, each term is multiplied by 1.2; and in E, each term is multiplied by 1/5. A and D have a constant difference instead, so they are arithmetic, not geometric.
