Q. Todd is reviewing his cell phone bill. When he gets to the text message part, he notices that he sent 100 text messages in November, 83 text messages in December, 66 text messages in January, and 49 text messages in February. What kind of sequence is this?Choices:(A) arithmetic(B) geometric(C) both(D) neither
Identify Differences: Step 1: Identify the differences between consecutive terms to determine the type of sequence. Todd sent 100 texts in November, 83 in December, 66 in January, and 49 in February. Calculate the differences: 100−83=17, 83−66=17, 66−49=17.
Analyze Differences: Step 2: Analyze the differences.Since the differences between consecutive terms are constant (all 17), this indicates an arithmetic sequence.
