Define the type of sequence below. 2, 0, 2, 4, 6,
O A. neither arithmetic nor geometric
O B. geometric
O C. both arithmetic and geometric
O D. arithmetic

Explanation:

Going from the first term to the second, we add on -2

Then going from the second term to the third, we add on +2

This inconsistency (-2 vs +2) means we don't have a common difference, and therefore the sequence is not arithmetic.

Now let's divide each term by their previous term

term2/term1 = 0/2 = 0

term3/term2 = 2/0 = undefined

We can stop here and conclude that we don't have a common ratio either, so this sequence is not geometric.

Side note: The subsequence 0,2,4,6,... is arithmetic with common difference d = 2 because we add 2 to each term. It's that first 2 in the original sequence that breaks everything.

the best buy, is the 4- kilogram bag of lollipops for $18.40.

step-by-step explanation:

i found my answer by dividing the cost of each bag by their respective weights.

14.88 divided by 2 = 7.44

17.29 divided by 3 = 5.77

18.4 divided by 4 = 4.6

24.4 divided by 5 = 4.88

by this, i found that the 4 kilo bag is the best buy.

guess at question:

a vertical line intersects the graph of g(x,y) = 0 at two points. what conclusion follows about the function f(x) implicitly defined by g(x,f(x)) = 0?

the domain of f(x) cannot include the x coordinate of any such vertical line.

informally, f(x) is not a function, and

g(x,y)=0 cannot be solved for y uniquely.

the relation r = {(x,y) such that g(x,y) = 0} is a function if

for all (a,b) ∊ r and (c,d) ∊ r, a=c implies b=d.
