In a geometric sequence each number after the first is found by multiplying the previous number by a fixed number called the common ratio.
In an arithmetic sequence, each term is equal to the previous term plus or minus a constant called the common difference.
In your problem we have a sequence of numbers that appears to be decreasing in value, but on the surface it doesn't appear to be by any constant number... but if you look closely, the denominator 34 is exactly twice the other denominator 17. This would lead me to look at a common denominator to see if anything takes shape...
9/17 = 18/34
15/34
6/17 = 12/34
9/34
Now we see that each number is the previous number minus 3/34, so we have a common difference of 3/34.
This would match the definition of an arithmetic sequence and NOT a geometric sequence.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>
Use the details of Oakley's new credit card to answer the question that follows. APR 11.9% compounded monthly Grace Period 28 days Minimum Payment 4% of the remaining balance or $25, whichever is higher Oakley charged $795 to his credit card last month. What is the first minimum payment he must make?
step 1
Find out the 4% of the balance of $795
so
This amount is higher than $25,
therefore
The first minimum payment he must make is $31.80
Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
dₙ = -5 (1/2)n-1
the 3rd term in the sequence means n = 3
d₃ = -5(1/2)(3-1) = -5(1/2)(2) = -5
An integer is like -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4...
all counting numbers plus 0 and negatives
so no fractions
so an an easmple of a rational number that is not an integer is any fraction a/b such that it doesn't sipmlify to an integer
examples
2/3
1/4
5/6
9/10
etc
Hello!
First of all, we have a 4/52, or 1/13 chance of selecting a pair. Then, we select 1/3 cards 3 times, so we use this as our other fraction.
=
Therefore, we have a 1/39 or about 3%.
I hope this helps!
