Which of the following sequences are not geometric? (check all that apply) a. 2,10,50,250,1250 b. 1,4,9,16,25,36 c. -4,-2,-1,-0.
Romashka [77]
A is geometric because each number is multiplied by 5.
B is not geometric because it is an arithmetic sequence.
C is a geometric sequence because each number is divided by 2.
D is neither geometric not arithmetic because there is no common ratio and there is not a pattern being added or subtracted to each number.
So, your answer should be B and D.
1st year= 18000 x 0.85 = 15300
2nd year= 15300 x 0.85 = 13005
3rd year= 13005 x 0.85= 11054.25

Explanation:
This is a self-answering question: you solve it by graphing the equations.
<em>The solution is where the lines intersect</em>. The point of intersection of the lines is the point that satisfies all the equations for the lines, hence is a solution to the system. If they do not intersect, there are no solutions. If the lines are coincident, there are an infinite number of solutions.

The equations can be graphed by any of a number of methods. (My favorite is to let a graphing calculator do it.) The method of choice depends on the coefficients and the form the equations are given in. Methods of graphing are a topic for a more lengthy discussion.
The answer is t=1.
Hope this helps.
