Q. Shivani has a garden and likes to put flowers from her garden into pretty vases. Shivani put 4 flowers in the first vase, 8 flowers in the second vase, 16 flowers in the third vase, and 32 flowers in the fourth vase. What kind of sequence is this?Choices:(A) arithmetic(B) geometric(C) both(D) neither
Arrange Flowers in Order: Shivani put flowers in vases in the following order: 4, 8, 16, 32. Let's list them out and check the sequence type.
Check Arithmetic Sequence: Check if the sequence is arithmetic by finding the differences between consecutive terms: 8−4=4, 16−8=8, 32−16=16. The differences are not the same, so it's not an arithmetic sequence.
Check Geometric Sequence: Check if the sequence is geometric by finding the ratios between consecutive terms: 48=2, 816=2, 1632=2. The ratios are the same, so it's a geometric sequence.
