Which one of the following is a geometric sequence?
A. 2,–3, 9⁄2, −18⁄4
--------
Testing for "r":: -3/2 = -1.5 ; (9/2)/-3 = -3/2 ; (-18/4)/(9/2) = -2
Ans: inconsistent "r" ; so not geometric
-------------------------------------------------
B. 0, 1, 2, 3, . . .
Testing for "r":: 1/0 = undefined
Ans: undefined "r":: so not geometric
--------------------------------------------------
C. 8, 4, 2, 1, 1⁄2, 1⁄4, . . .
Testing shows r = 1/2 ; so it is geometric
------------------------------
D. –7, 10, 23, 36, . . .
Testing:: 10/-7 ; 23/10 ; 36/23
Ans: inconsistent "r": so not geometric
------------
