Answer:

<em>The sequence is geometric.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

In Arithmetic sequence, there is a common difference between any two consecutive terms but in Geometric sequence, there is a common ratio between any two consecutive terms.

Given sequence is:   50,  -50,  50,  -50,.................  

Lets assume, the terms as  a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, a_{4},...........

<em><u>Checking for common difference:</u></em>  

a_{2}-a_{1}= (-50)-(50)= -100\\ \\ a_{3}-a_{2}=(50)-(-50)=100\\ \\ a_{4}-a_{3}=(-50)-(50)=-100

As there is no common difference, so it's not an arithmetic sequence.

<u><em>Checking for common ratio</em></u>

\frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}=\frac{-50}{50}=-1\\ \\ \frac{a_{3}}{a_{2}}=\frac{50}{-50}=-1\\ \\ \frac{a_{4}}{a_{3}}=\frac{-50}{50}=-1

As there is a common ratio, so it's a geometric sequence.

This equation shows how the total number of pieces Lamar has learned depends on the number of weeks he has taken piano lessons.
Dominik [7]

Answer:

19 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

P = w

Where,

w = the number of weeks he has taken piano lessons

p = the total number of pieces he has learned

how many weeks of piano lessons will Lamar need before he will be able to play a total of 19 pieces?

Find w when p = 19

P = w

p = 19

Since P = w

19 = w

Therefore,

w = 19

Lamar need 19 weeks before he will be able to play a total of 19 pieces
