Answer:

Let's start by first remembering what a "geometric sequence" is. A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that multiply by the same number each time. For example,

2, 4, 8, 16

is a geometric sequence since each number is multiplied by 2 from one to the next, but

2, 4, 6, 8 

is NOT a geometric sequence. We are adding 2 each time, but not multiplying, so it doesn't count. We have to be multiplying to have a geometric sequence.

[A] Let's look at A, are we multiplying by the same thing? 

6*3 = 18

18*3 = 54

54*3 = 162

162*3 = 486

Yes! We are multiplying by 3 each time. This is a geometric sequence!

[B] Are we multiplying by the same thing?

2*3/2 = 3

3*3/2 = 9/2 which is not 5.

NOPE

[C] Are we multiplying by the same thing?

2*5/2 = 5

5*5/2 = 25/2 which is not 8

NOPE

[D] Are we multiplying by the same thing?

-4*1/2 = -2

-2*1/2 = -1

-1*1/2 = -0.5

-0.5*1/2 = -0.25

-0.25*1/2 = -0.125

Yep, we are multiplying by 1/2 each time! This is a geometric sequence!

hope this help im not sure tho

Enter an inequality that represents the graph in the box.
mamaluj [8]

We know the y intercept is -6 and we know the slope is positive 4 (rise over run) so the equation is y=4x-6 if we plug in a shaded point (I would choose 0,0 for convenience reasons) 0=-6 since -6 is less than 0, the expression would be y≥4x-6
