Answer:
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ...
Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence increases by the same amount every time through addition or subtraction. There is a common difference.
A: -2, 4, -6, 8, ... If there were a common difference, the numbers would not switch between being positive and back to negative. The numbers would either keep going positive or keep going negative.
B: 2, 4, 8, 16, ... The common difference between 16 and 8 is 16 - 8 = 8. The difference between 8 and 4 is 8 - 4 = 4. Since the difference changes between the numbers, this is not an arithmetic sequence.
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ... The common difference between -2 and -4 is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2. The difference between -4 and -6 is -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2. The difference between -6 and -8 is -6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2. Since the common difference is always two, this is an arithmetic sequence.

Okay well I did something wrong
Problem 1
The error is 2 inches since her estimate is 2 inches off the true value.
We can think of it like this
4 feet = 4*12 = 48 inches
4 feet, 2 inches = 4 ft + 2 in = 48 in + 2 in = 50 inches
So she guesses he is 48 inches, but he's really 50 inches, so 50-48 = 2 inches is her error.
==================================================
Problem 2
Divide the error (2 inches) over the actual height (50 inches) to get
2/50 = 4/100 = 4%
The percentage error is 4%
This means she is 4% off the target.
Note how 4% of 50 = 0.04*50 = 2 which was the error we found back in problem 1.
Answer is 1704 and to explain just put that you added to get your final answer
