Geometric Sequences

Question 1 • AZ-Common Core Algebra II B

When is a sequence geometric?

Answer
A
when each term is multiplied by the same number to get the next term
B
when there is a common difference between terms
C
when the sequence increases or decreases in a linear pattern
D
when the ratios between consecutive terms are reciprocals

Explanation

A sequence is geometric when the ratio of each term to the term before it is constant. In other words, you multiply each term by the same number to get the next term, as choice A states. A common difference describes an arithmetic sequence, not a geometric one.
