(a) When the sequence is arithmetic, sequential terms have a common difference.

... x - 3 = (4x/3) - x . . . . differences of sequential terms are equal

... (2/3)x = 3 . . . . . . . add 3-(1/3)x

... x = 9/2 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 3/2

(The arithmetic sequence is 3, 4.5, 6. The common difference is 3/2.)

(b) When the sequence is geometric, sequential terms have a common ratio.

... x/3 = (4x/3)/x . . . . . ratios of sequential terms are equal

... x^2 = 4x . . . . . multiply by 3x

... x = 4 . . . . . . . . divide by x. (the "solution" x=0 is extraneous)

(The geometric sequence is 3, 4, 16/3. The common ratio is 4/3.)

Answer:

Your answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 = Five tenths

and

0.05 = five hundredths

This is because 0.5 is like 50 cents and 0.05 is like 5 cents

The rest are wrong because A: 0.05 simply can't be bigger than 0.5

B is wrong because they aren't equal to each other

and D is wrong because 0.05 + 0.5 = 0.55

How do you know if a square root of something is rational or irrational? like i know it can be represented by a fraction or a ra
ra1l [238]
The square root of a whole number will be rational if the whole number is a perfect square (i.e 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144 etc) and irrational otherwise.

Rational number is a number that can be described as m/n 

so a fraction can be a rational number, 0.8=4/5 
Irrational numbers can't be written as a fraction 

The part about the number having to be a perfect square is still correct, if it's not a prefect square than it will just keep going(a decimal that never ends) 

for example the square root of 0.64 is 0.8 
and the square root of 10 is 3.162277... 
as you can see the 0.64 one ends and is rational, whereas the 10 one just keeps going and is irrational.
