What does a geometric sequence contain

1 answer:

6 0

The geometric sequence is a sequence with a common ratio. The common ratio is the ratio between the succeeding term and the preceding term of a sequence and must be equal to a constant k.

Given a sequence 2, 4, 8, 16... This sequence is geometric in nature because of a constant common ratio of 2.'

Common ratio = 4/2 = 8/4 = 2

Hence a geometric sequence is characterized by its common ratio

Question

Ahat [919]

Answer:

4 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three trains that Rachel has to take to go to her job. The total time is taken by her, on average, 1 hour and 20 minutes i.e. (60 + 20) = 80 minutes.

In his journey, she walks for 15 minutes and a train journey for about 53 minutes.

Then the total waiting time for the trains is (80 - 53 - 15) = 12 minutes.

Therefore, the average waiting time, in minutes, at each of the three train stations will be $\frac{12}{3} = 4$ minutes. (Answer)
