Answer:

Option 1  the given sequence is a geometric.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given with the series

200,40,8,1.6

Arithmetic sequence is the sequence in which difference between consecutive terms is same that is common difference d

d=a_2-a_1

d=40-200=-160   herea_2=40,a_1=200

d=8-40=-32          herea_2=8,a_1=40

We can see the difference is not same

Hence, the given sequence is not arithmetic sequence.


Geometric sequence is the sequence in which ratio of consecutive terms is same that is common ratio r

r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}

r=\frac{40}{200}=\frac{1}{5}   herea_2=40,a_1=200

r=\frac{8}{40}=\frac{1}{5}          herea_2=8,a_1=40

r=\frac{1.6}{8}=\frac{1}{5}             herea_2=1.6,a_1=8

We can see the ratio is  same.

Hence, given sequence is geometric

Therefore, Option 1 is correct given sequence is geometric.

Solve this equation: 4y + 228 = 352. <br> A. y = 31<br> B. y = – 31<br> C. y = 3<br> D. y = 145
V125BC [204]
To let the variable alone you can follow these steps: 1) subtract 228 from both sides 2) divide both sides by 4. This is the solution: 1) 4y + 228 - 228 = 352 - 228 => 2) 4y = 124 => 3) (4y)/4 = 124/4 => 4) y = 31. Then, <span>the answer is the option A. y = 31. </span>
