Q. question: Choose the sequence below that is arithmetic. \ A. 77,72,67,62,… \ C. 3,5,9,17,33,… \ B. 1,4,8,13,19,… \ D. −7,−14,−28,−56,…
Sequence Type: question_prompt: Choose the sequence that is arithmetic.
Calculate Differences: An arithmetic sequence has a common difference between consecutive terms. Calculate the difference between consecutive terms for each sequence.
Sequence A: For sequence A (77,72,67,62,…), the difference is 72−77=−5 and 67−72=−5.
Sequence C: For sequence C(3,5,9,17,33,…), the difference is 5−3=2, but 9−5=4. The differences are not constant.
Sequence B: For sequence B (1,4,8,13,19,extellipsis), the difference is 4−1=3, but 8−4=4. The differences are not constant.
Sequence D: For sequence D (−7,−14,−28,−56,…), the difference is −14−(−7)=−7, but −28−(−14)=−14. The differences are not constant.
