Answer: An arithmetic sequence is of the form:

aₙ = a₀ + (n -1)*d

So the difference between a term and the nextone is always the same, and in our case the numbers are 5,8,13,21,34,55.

The distance between the numbers is not constant, so this is not a arithmetic sequence.

a geometric sequence is of the form: aₙ = a*rⁿ

So the therms grow exponentially.

here a₀ = a*r⁰ = a = 5.

a₁ = a*r¹ = 5*r = 13, then r = 13/5 = 2.6

a₂ = a*r² = 5*2.6*2.6 = 33.8, so here we can see that this is not our series, so our series isn't geometric.

So the answer for the first part is neither.

Now, the sequence is  5,8,13,21,34,55, ...

you can see that

5 + 8 = 13

13 + 8 = 21,

21 + 34 = 55

So our sequence is of the form: aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + aₙ₋₂.

then, the next term will be: 55 + 21= 76.

I NEED HELP WILL GIVE CROWN FOR RIGHT ANSWER

There are 2.5 grams of niacin contained in the bottle.

First you have to find how many milligrams are in the bottle.

So you multiply 125 by 20 since there are 125 tablets and 20 milligrams in each one.

125*20=2500

So there are 2500 milligrams in the bottle. Then you have to convert it into grams. To do that you divide the mass by 1000.

2500/1000=2.5

So there are 2.5 grams in the bottle.
