Question

The graph of the sequence would have (check image)

Answer 1

Answer: D) common ratio

Explanation:

The four points on this curve are

(1, 3) ,  (2, 6),  (3, 12) ,  (4, 24)

The equation of the curve that goes through all the points mentioned is

y = 3*2^(x-1) which is equivalent to y = 1.5*2^x

Both equations are exponential equations.

Sequences of the form

a(n) = a*(r)^(n-1)

are geometric sequences with common ratio r. In this case, r = 2.

Note how the jump from 3 to 6 is "times 2", so is from 6 to 12, and from 12 to 24. We multiply each term by 2 to get the next one.
