Question 11 • 2025-2026 FBISD - Precalculus B (CR)

There are 15 rows of seats in an auditorium. The first row has 20 seats, and each of the other rows has 5 more seats than the row immediately in front of it. Which of the following is formed by the list of the number of seats in each row?

Answer
A
an arithmetic sequence
B
a geometric sequence
C
a sequence that is neither arithmetic nor geometric
D
a sequence that is both arithmetic and geometric

Explanation

Each row has 5 more seats than the row before it, so the number of seats increases by a constant difference of 5. A sequence with a constant difference is an arithmetic sequence. Therefore, the list is an arithmetic sequence.
