If the sequence is geometric, find the common ratio. If the sequence is not geometric, say so.
-29, 17.4, 10.44, 6.264, 3.76
A) 3.76
B) 1.67
C) 0.6
D) -0.6

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The common ratio of a geometric sequence is found by dividing any term by the previous term. For this sequence, 17.4 / 29 = 0.6, 10.44 / 17.4 = 0.6, and so on. This confirms the sequence is geometric with a common ratio of 0.6.
