Answer: If you want me to add the fractions it is 7/2 or 3.5
Answer: C) Never
If two integers are positive, the one closer to zero is <u> never </u> greater.
An example would be something like the integers 3 and 5. The value 3 is closer to zero, so it's not greater than 5. Stuff on the left is smaller than stuff on the right.
Answer:
C: 28 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter is when you add the length of each sides together.

Answers:
- Not geometric
- Geometric
==================================================
Explanation for problem 1
Divide each term over its previous term.
- term2/term1 = 48/60 = 0.8
- term3/term2 = 36/48 = 0.75
We can stop here. The two results 0.8 and 0.75 do not match up, so we don't have a common ratio. Therefore, this sequence is <u>not</u> geometric. A geometric sequence must have each ratio of adjacent terms to be the same value throughout the list of numbers.
Side note: This sequence is arithmetic because we are subtracting the same amount each time (12) to generate each new term.
--------------------------------------
Explanation for problem 2
Like before, we'll divide each term by its previous term.
- term2/term1 = 6/3 = 2
- term3/term2 = 12/6 = 2
- term4/term3 = 24/12 = 2
- term5/term4 = 48/24 = 2
Each ratio found was 2. This is the common ratio and it shows we have a geometric sequence. It indicates that each term is twice that of its previous term. Eg: the jump from 12 to 24 is "times 2".
