Answer:

I'm not 100% on this, but wouldn't the variable be the amount of apples she had before her trip? Which would be 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

If she went to the farmers market for 5 more apples, and the recipe calls for 32, lets call the amount of apples she had before the trip "x". We know that "x" is less than 32. We also know that she needed 5 more apples. So you could write something like x+5=32, and by solving for x, you get 27, because 27+5=32.  

Like I said, i'm not 100% on this, but i'm pretty sure the variable is the amount of apples she had before her trip (27 or "x") Hope this helped!

Yes it is possible for a geometric sequence to not outgrow an arithmetic one, but only if the common ratio r is restricted by this inequality: 0 < r < 1

Consider the arithmetic sequence an = 9 + 2(n-1). We start at 9 and increment (or increase) by 2 each time. This goes on forever to generate the successive terms.

In the geometric sequence an = 4*(0.5)^(n-1), we start at 4 and multiply each term by 0.5, so the next term would be 2, then after that would be 1, etc. This sequence steadily gets closer to 0 but never actually gets there. We can say that this is a strictly decreasing sequence.

If your teacher insists that the geometric sequence must be strictly increasing, then at some point the geometric sequence will overtake the arithmetic one. This is due to the nature that exponential growth functions grow faster compared to linear functions with positive slope.
