Algebra.Com's Answer #595434 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The first has neither a common ratio nor a common difference. It isn't clear what the next term will be. It could be two from then on, or it could change to 1 or 3.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The second is geometric with a common ratio of (-2).
