Question

Which of the tables below contain values that would be considered an arithmetic sequence? Which contain values that would be considered a geometric sequence? Select your answer choice in the following way:

Choose A for arithmetic,
choose B for geometric and
choose C for neither.
Value Term Number 61 32 14

Answer 1

The first table contains an arithmetic sequence, while the second table contains a geometric sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first table contains values that would be considered an arithmetic sequence because the terms have a constant difference between them. In an arithmetic sequence, each term is found by adding (or subtracting) the same value to the previous term.

The second table contains values that would be considered a geometric sequence because the terms have a constant ratio between them. In a geometric sequence, each term is found by multiplying (or dividing) the previous term by the same value.
