Answer:
It gives you 28 different 10-digit numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
The leftmost position digit can not be 0 --- hence, it is 1, since there is no other possibilities.
The rightmost position (the "ones" position) must be 0 to provide an even number.
Hence, you have 8 remaining positions to fill with six ones and two zeros by an arbitrary way.
You can place two digits of zero among 8 positions by =
different ways = 4*7 = 28 different ways,
It represents a geometric sequence because it has a common ratio of 2.
In fact, a sequence is said to be geometric if any two adjacent elements are in the same ratio. In other words, if you choose any index and consider the two consecutive terms
and
, you have
no matter which index you chose. In your case, the next term in the sequence is always the double of the previous one, so the ratio between two consecutive terms is always 2, and the series is geometric with common ratio 2
