Using geometric sequence concepts, it is found that:
a) The rule is:
.
b) An exponential relationship exists between the two variables.
<h3>What is a geometric sequence?</h3>
A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.
The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

In which
is the first term.
A geometric sequence represents an exponential relationship between the variables.
In this problem, considering that the first-place finisher wins half of $1.500.000 in total prize money, and each finisher earns half of the one who finished above, the first term and the common ratio are given by:
.
Hence the nth term of the sequence is given by:

The answer is D 33 because it starts by adding 1 and then doubles the amount added every time<span />
Let set C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} and set D = {2, 4, 6, 8}.

<span>1. If it is intersection then it SHOULD be included in both the sets right?
Now we know that odd numbers from 1-100 but the second set are multiples of 5 from 50-150! So we mainly need to look for common numbers which are ODD and are a MULTIPLE OF 5 BETWEEN 50 - 100!!
So
A={51,53,57,59,61......99}
B={55,60,65,70.......95} [We stop till 100 because set A has no such element]
So what is A ∩ B here?
A ∩ B = {All odd numbers and multiples of 5 between 50 - 100}
