3, 12, 48, 192, 768, . . .
This sequence has a
A.] common difference of 4
B.] common ratio of 4
C.] common difference of [tex] \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
D.] common ratio of [tex] \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
The answer would be the sequence has a common ratio of 4. The explanation for this would be: To get the common ratio for get the simplest form of the two numbers, so 12/3 = 4 and 48/12 = 4So we know that their common ratio is 4. To check: 3 x 4 = 12 12 x 4 = 48 48 x 4 = 192 192 x 4 = 768
