What is the common ratio in the following geometric sequence? 2, 12 , 18 , 132 , . . . (1 point) Responses
−1.5
1/2
1/4
4
To find the common ratio in a geometric sequence, we divide any term by the previous term.
12/2 = 6
18/12 = 3
132/18 = 22/3 ≈ 7.33
Since the common ratio is not constant, we can conclude that this sequence does not have a common ratio. None of the given options (-1.5, 1/2, 1/4, 4) are correct.
