Answer:
The sequence <u>is</u> geometric and the common ratio is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
A sequence is geometric if each term (after the first one) is equal to the term before it times some constant number, called the 'common ratio'.
Examples: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ... has a common ratio of 2 because 2*2 = 4, and 4*2 = 8, and so on.
Also, --> 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4/ 1/8, ... has a common ratio of 1/2 because
4 * 1/2 = the next term 2, and 2 * 1/2 = the next trem 1/4, and son on.
In this case, 3 * 2 = 6
6 * 2 = 12
12 * 2 = 24
The sequence <u>is</u> geometric and the common ratio is 2
-10/40 = y / -5
cross multiply
(40)(y) = (-5)(-10)
40y = 50
y = 50/40
y = 5/4 <===
I would say either a or b
