Q. A new cookbook is becoming popular. The local bookstore ordered 22 copies in June, 66 copies in July, 198 copies in August, and 594 copies in September. What kind of sequence is this?Choices:(A) arithmetic(B) geometric(C) both(D) neither
Identify Numbers Sequence: Identify the sequence of numbers.June: 22 copies, July: 66 copies, August: 198 copies, September: 594 copies.
Check Arithmetic Differences: Check if the sequence is arithmetic by finding the difference between consecutive terms.Difference between July and June: 66−22=44Difference between August and July: 198−66=132Difference between September and August: 594−198=396The differences are not constant, so it's not an arithmetic sequence.
Check Geometric Ratios: Check if the sequence is geometric by finding the ratio between consecutive terms.Ratio of July to June: 2266=3Ratio of August to July: 66198=3Ratio of September to August: 198594=3The ratios are constant, so it's a geometric sequence.
