In a geometric sequence each number after the first is found by multiplying the previous number by a fixed number called the common ratio.

In an arithmetic sequence, each term is equal to the previous term plus or minus a constant called the common difference.

In your problem we have a sequence of numbers that appears to be decreasing in value, but on the surface it doesn't appear to be by any constant number... but if you look closely, the denominator 34 is exactly twice the other denominator 17. This would lead me to look at a common denominator to see if anything takes shape...

9/17 = 18/34
15/34
6/17 = 12/34
9/34

Now we see that each number is the previous number minus 3/34, so we have a common difference of 3/34.

This would match the definition of an arithmetic sequence and NOT a geometric sequence.

A) Teresa is correct; y=2ˣ grows at an increasingly increasing rate, while the other two grow at a constantly increasing rate. This means y=2ˣ will surpass the other two.

1. a single standard number cube is rolled, what is the probability of getting 4 or 5?
True [87]
There are 6 sides on a standard number cube. Numbers are listed on it from 1-6. This being said, 4 and 5 together make up 2/6 of the cube. Since this fraction can be reduced, this leaves us with C. 1/3
