Arithmetic sequences have a common difference, while Geometric sequences have a common ratio. In the sequence -20, -18, -15, -11..., there is not a common difference. This is because there is a +2 increase between -20 and -18 but a +3 difference between -18 and -15, then +4 increase between -15 and -11. This means it is not Arithmetic, which means it can't be both either. This leaves us with B and C, so we have to see if there is a common ratio. To find common ratio, divide any 2 terms in the sequence. Let's choose -18 and -15. -18 / -15 = 1.2 Now let's see if this works for each term. To do this, multiply each term by 1.2 to see if it results in the next term. -20 • 1.2 = -24 This doesn't work, so there is no common ratio. This means the sequence is neither Arithmetic nor Geometric. So the answer is C. Neither.
ANSWER: A right triangle is scalene if all three sides are a different length such as one with sides of 3, 4 and 5. You can have an isosceles right triangle with two sides the same length such as a 1, 1 and 2 sided triangle. An equilateral right triangle (all three sides equal) is not possible.
