In a geometric sequence, the ratio between consecutive terms is...

<h3>Answer: The same or equal</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

Consider an example like 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, ...

The ratio between consecutive terms is

  • 6/3 = 2
  • 12/6 = 2
  • 24/12 = 2
  • 48/2 = 2

Each time we divide any given term over its previous one, we get the same ratio 2. We call this the common ratio. In terms of notation, the variable r is used for the common ratio, so r = 2 in this case.

As another example, the geometric sequence 5, 50, 500, 5000, ... has r = 10 as the common ratio because we multiply each term by 10 to get the next one. Moving forward has us multiply by r, moving backward and we divide by r. The value of r cannot be zero, but it can be negative.

An example with r being negative would be something like

1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, ....

we just bounce back and forth between those two values. In this case, r = -1.

Create a pattern with the rule n+3
gtnhenbr [62]
N + 3 simply means we are adding 3 to the number before. An example of such of a pattern would look like this: 

3, 6, 9, 12

4, 7, 10, 13

5, 8, 11, 14

One day a store sold 21 sweatshirts. white ones cost​ $9.95 and yellow ones cost $ 11.50. in​ all, ​$235.30 worth of sweatshirts
FromTheMoon [43]
For this problem you have yo set up two equations.

White shirts = w Yellow shirts = y

1st: w + y = 21
2nd: 9.95w + 11.50y = 235.30

Now we're going to do system of equations using substitution.

If w + y = 21, then y = 21 - w
If y = 21 - w, then you can substitute this in the second equation for y.

9.95w + 11.50(21 - w) = 235.30
9.95w + 241.5 - 11.50w = 235.30
-1.55w + 241.5 = 235.30
-1.55w = -6.2
w = 4, so 4 whites shirt were sold.

Now I'm finding out how many yellow shirts were sold using one of the two equations at the top.

w + y = 21
4 + y = 21
y = 17

So 17 yellow shirts were sold and 4 white shirts were sold.
