Explanation:
A sequence is a list of numbers.
A <em>geometric</em> sequence is a list of numbers such that the ratio of each number to the one before it is the same. The common ratio can be any non-zero value.
<u>Examples</u>
- 1, 2, 4, 8, ... common ratio is 2
- 27, 9, 3, 1, ... common ratio is 1/3
- 6, -24, 96, -384, ... common ratio is -4

<u>General Term</u>
Terms of a sequence are numbered starting with 1. We sometimes use the symbol a(n) or an to refer to the n-th term. The general term of a geometric sequence, a(n), can be described by the formula ...
a(n) = a(1)×r^(n-1) . . . . . n-th term of a geometric sequence
where a(1) is the first term, and r is the common ratio. The above example sequences have the formulas ...
- a(n) = 2^(n -1)
- a(n) = 27×(1/3)^(n -1)
- a(n) = 6×(-4)^(n -1)
You can see that these formulas are exponential in nature.

<u>Sum of Terms</u>
Another useful formula for geometric sequences is the formula for the sum of n terms.
S(n) = a(1)×(r^n -1)/(r -1) . . . . . sum of n terms of a geometric sequence
When |r| < 1, the sum converges as n approaches infinity. The infinite sum is ...
S = a(1)/(1-r)
Answer:
This is a linear function because there is a common difference of 4
⇒ 2nd answer
Step-by-step explanation:
- In the linear function there is a common difference between each two
consecutive data
- In the exponential function there is a common ratio between each two
consecutive data
- Lats check the data in the data in the table
(x) === 1 ⇒ 2 ⇒ 3
f(x) === 4 ⇒ 8 ⇒ 12
∵ x has consecutive numbers 1 , 2 , 3
∵ 8 - 4 = 4
∵ 12 - 8 = 4
∴ f(x) has a common difference 4
∵ 8 ÷ 4 = 2
∵ 12 ÷ 8 = 1.5
∴ f(x) has no common ratio
∴ The table represents a linear function with common difference 4
This is a linear function because there is a common difference of 4
