Question

What kind of sequence is this?
1, 10, 100, 1,000, ... arithmetic Submit geometric both neither

Answer 1

geometric sequence

Explanation:

A geometric sequence is when a value goes into another by always multiplying or dividing by the same number. In this instance it is by 10.

1st value: 1

2nd value: 10 (1 × 10 = 10)

3rd value: 100 (10 × 10)

etc.

Answer 2

Geometric

Explanation:

1, 10, 100, 1000

Divide 10 by 1

10 ÷ 1

= 10

This sequence is going up by ×10, so this means it is geometric sequence, not arithmetic. Arithmetic sequences go up by a fixed amount (addition). Geometric by a consistent factor (multiplication).
