Geometric Sequences

Question 1 • AZ-Common Core Algebra II B

Select the sequences that are geometric.

Answer
A
18, 36, 54, 72, …
B
4.1, 8.2, 16.4, 32.8, …
C
–7, 14, –28, 56, …
D
980, 784, 627.2, 501.76, …
E
5, 2, –1, –4, …

Explanation

A sequence is geometric if the ratio between each pair of consecutive terms stays constant. In B, each term is multiplied by 2; in C, each term is multiplied by −2; and in D, each term is multiplied by 0.8. A and E have a constant difference instead, so they are arithmetic, not geometric.
