How do I know if a sequence is arithmetic ,geometric ,or neither

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mekhanik [1.2K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that you have a sequence written out in always increasing or always decreasing order.  

If each new term is equal to the previous term, plus a certain constant, then the sequence is arithmetic.  Example:  2, 7, 12, 17, 22, ... (the additive constant is 5).

If each new term is equal to the previous term, multiplied by a certain constant, then the sequence is geometric.  Example:  2, 8, 32, 128, ...  (the multiplicative constant is 4).

If the spacing between terms is not a constant, then the sequence is neither arith. nor geom.

If all new adjacent terms are not found by multiplying the previous term by the same constant, the sequence is not geometric (and not arithmetic).

.3 3. True or False? For any integer m, 2m(3m + 2) is divisible by 4. Explain to get credit.
Sav [38]

Answer with explanation:

We have to prove that, For any integer m, 2 m×(3 m + 2) is divisible by 4.

We will prove this result with the help of Mathematical Induction.

⇒For Positive Integers

For, m=1

L HS=2×1×(3×1+2)

      =2×(5)

       =10

It is not divisible by 4.

⇒For Negative Integers

For, m= -1

L HS=2×(-1)×[3×(-1)+2]

      =-2×(-3+2)

       = (-2)× (-1)

       =2

It is not divisible by 4.

False Statement.

What is the value of n in the simplified expression? (4k7)3= 4n ·(k7) 3= 64k21
Nesterboy [21]
Given:
(4k⁷)³ = 4n(k⁷)³

Note that (aˣ)ⁿ = aˣⁿ

Expand the left and right sides.
4³k²¹ = 4nk²¹
Divide each side by k²¹.
4³ = 4n
Divide each side by 4.
4² = n
Therefore
n = 4² = 16

Answer: n = 16
