Q. What kind of sequence is this?91,110,129,148,…Choices:(A) arithmetic(B) geometric(C) both(D) neither
Verify Consecutive Differences: Let's verify if the differences between consecutive terms are uniform. Given sequence: 91,110,129,148,…Are the consecutive differences in the sequence equal? 110−91=19, 129−110=19, 148−129=19.The consecutive differences in the sequence are equal.
Identify Arithmetic Sequence: Since the consecutive differences are equal, this indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence. An arithmetic sequence is defined by having a common difference between consecutive terms.
Check Ratios for Geometric Sequence: Let's also check the ratios between consecutive terms to see if it is a geometric sequence. Given sequence: 91,110,129,148,…Are the ratios between consecutive terms in the sequence equal? 91110≈1.2088, 110129≈1.1727, 129148≈1.1473.The ratios between consecutive terms in the sequence are not equal.
Conclusion: Since the sequence does not have a common ratio, it is not a geometric sequence. A geometric sequence is defined by having a common ratio between consecutive terms.
