Question

If you were offered a job would you choose the one with the pay increase according to an arithmetic sequence formula or a geometric sequence formula? Justify your response.

Answer 1

geometric

Explanation:

To understand how geometric is better than arithmetic.

We use a arithmetic compared to a geometric

Let the difference be 2

Arithmetic:

1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12...

Let the multiplier be 2

Geometric:

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

as you can see, geometric shows a robust growth at n=6, therefore Geometric is better.
