The ratio of a geometric sequence:
[tex]r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}[/tex]

[tex]a. \\ r=\frac{17.2}{4.3}=4 \\ \\ b. \\ r=\frac{15}{5}=3 \\ \\ c. \\ r=\frac{-15}{-5}=3 \\ \\ d. \\ r=\frac{-16.8}{-4.8}=3.5 \\ \\ e. \\ r=\frac{23.8}{6.8}=3.5[/tex]

Sequences b. and c. and sequences d. and e. have the same ratio.
