Question

In 2006, 5,200 highway accidents were recorded in a city. The number of highway accidents increases by 5% every year. Let y represent the number of highway accidents x years since 2006. Which type of sequence does the situation represent?

Answer 1

PLATO Answer: Geometric sequence with a common ratio of 1.5

Explanation:

Answer 2

Geometric sequence

Explanation:

Since the accidents increase by 5% this represents that the number is increasing exponentially . So the sequence is geometric sequence. The geometric sequence can be represented by: a, ar, ar^2, ar^3...
