Q. Jonathan is reviewing his cell phone bill. When he gets to the text message part, he notices that he sent 2828 text messages in January, 8484 text messages in February, 252252 text messages in March, and 756756 text messages in April. What kind of sequence is this?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) arithmetic\newline(B) geometric\newline(C) both\newline(D) neither
  1. Sequence Numbers: Jonathan sent a different number of text messages each month.\newlineJanuary: 2828\newlineFebruary: 8484\newlineMarch: 252252\newlineApril: 756756\newlineWhat is the sequence for the number of text messages?\newlineList the number of text messages in the given order.\newlineSequence: 28,84,252,75628, 84, 252, 756
  2. Consecutive Differences: 2828, 8484, 252252, 756756\newlineAre the differences between consecutive terms equal?\newline84−28=5684 - 28 = 56\newline252−84=168252 - 84 = 168\newline756−252=504756 - 252 = 504\newlineThe difference between each consecutive term is not the same.
  3. Consecutive Ratios: 28,84,252,75628, 84, 252, 756 Are the consecutive ratios of the sequence equal? 8428=3\frac{84}{28} = 3 25284=3\frac{252}{84} = 3 756252=3\frac{756}{252} = 3 The ratio between each consecutive term is the same.
  4. Sequence Type: The sequence has:\newlineno common difference.\newlinea common ratio of 33.\newlineWhat type of sequence is 28,84,252,75628, 84, 252, 756?\newlineSince the sequence has a common ratio, it is a geometric sequence.
