Q. Tyrone has a garden and likes to put flowers from his garden into pretty vases. Tyrone put 11 flowers in the first vase, 22 flowers in the second vase, 44 flowers in the third vase, and 88 flowers in the fourth vase. What kind of sequence is this?Choices:(A) arithmetic(B) geometric(C) both(D) neither
Arrange flowers in vases: Tyrone put flowers into vases in the following order:First vase: 11 flowersSecond vase: 22 flowersThird vase: 44 flowersFourth vase: 88 flowersList the number of flowers in the given order to identify the sequence.Sequence: 11,22,44,88
Identify sequence:11,22,44,88Check if the differences between consecutive terms are equal to determine if it's an arithmetic sequence.22−11=1144−22=2288−44=44The differences between each consecutive term are not the same, so it is not an arithmetic sequence.
Check arithmetic sequence:11,22,44,88Check if the ratios of consecutive terms are equal to determine if it's a geometric sequence.1122=22244=24488=2The ratio between each consecutive term is the same, so it is a geometric sequence.
