Lena is asked to write an explicit formula for the graphed geometric sequence. On a coordinate plane, 3 points are plotted. The points are (1, 1), (2, 2. 5), (3, 6. 25). What value, written as a decimal, should Lena use as the common ratio? 1. 0 1. 5 2. 5 2. 0.

Respuesta :

Answer:

r = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the y- coordinates of the plotted points

1 , 2.5 , 6.25

The common ratio r is calculated as

r = [tex]\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{a_{3} }{a_{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2.5}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6.25}{2.5}[/tex] = 2.5
