Question

Determine whether the sequence is arithmetic or geometric.

Sequence 1: 32, 16, 0, –16, ...
Sequence 2: 32, 16, 8, 4, ...
Which of the following statements are true regarding Sequence 1 and Sequence 2.

Answer 1

Answer:

Sequence 1 is arithmetic, sequence 2 is geometric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sequence 1 is being subtracted by 16 each time, so it is arithmetic.

Sequence 2 is being divided by 2 each time, so it is geometric.

Both, sequence 1 and 2, have terms 32 and 16.
