Consider the sequence -2, 6, -18, 54,
Select all the statements that are true for the sequence.

The sequence is arithmetic
The sequence is geometric

The sequence is geometric

Step-by-step explanation:

In an arithmetic sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common difference and this difference is linear.

Common difference = given term - the term before it

In geometric progression, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio this difference is exponential.

Common ratio = given term/the term before it

Looking at the given sequence,

1) d = 6 - - 2 is not equal to - 18 - 6

Therefore, it is not an arithmetic sequence

2) r = 6/- 2 = - 18/6 = - 3

Therefore, it is a geometric sequence.

let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0
