Q. The teacher is handing out note cards to her students. She gave 58 note cards to the first student, 41 note cards to the second student, 24 note cards to the third student, and 7 note cards to the fourth student. What kind of sequence is this?Choices:(A) arithmetic(B) geometric(C) both(D) neither
Find Differences: To determine the type of sequence, we need to check the differences or ratios between consecutive terms. Let's start by finding the differences between consecutive terms.Difference between first and second student's note cards: 58−41=17Difference between second and third student's note cards: 41−24=17Difference between third and fourth student's note cards: 24−7=17
Identify Arithmetic Sequence: Since the differences between consecutive terms are constant, this indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence.
