First off, we can rule out that this is not an arithmetic sequence, as the y values do not have a common difference.
Next, let's look at the y values again, and test out the common ratios given. First, let's use 0.6. If it's a common ratio of 5, 3, 1.8, and 1.08, then we can find that out by multiplying it by 5 first.
5 x 0.6 is 3.
Then, 3 x 0.6 is 1.8.
Finally, 1.8 x 0.6 is 1.08.
Therefore, B is correct. The table represents a geometric sequence because the successive y-values have a common ratio of 0.6, since multiplying the values by 0.6 equals the next value down.
It wuld be 6 because area is when you multiple the two.<span />
Answer:
84 points
y= 100-2x where y= total score (0 through 100) and x= # of questions wrong (0 through 50)
Step-by-step explanation:
100- 2(8) = y
100-16 = y
84=y
Since each question (x) is worth two points (2) we have to multiply each wrong question by two (2x). And then since we're deducting point from the possible points (100) we have to subtract (100-2x)
