Determine whether the sequence is arithmetic, geometric, both or neither.
16, 8, 4, 2
A. arithmetic
B. Goemetric
C. Neither
D. Both
so what the hell is it
its B
I need the answer to this quiz or at least a little help from someone pls
To determine whether the sequence is arithmetic, geometric, both, or neither, we can examine the differences between consecutive terms in the given sequence.
First, let's find the differences between consecutive terms:
8 - 16 = -8
4 - 8 = -4
2 - 4 = -2
Since the differences are all the same (-8, -4, -2), this sequence is arithmetic. Hence, the correct answer is:
A. arithmetic
There is not a common difference between successive elements of the sequence.
There is, however, a common ratio between these elements (1/2).
What does that tell you?
