Mr. jones asks his students to generate the next two numbers in the sequence beginning –5.5, 11, .... taquan suggests that the sequence is geometric and the next two numbers are –22 and 44. julia suggests that the sequence is arithmetic and the next two numbers are 27.5 and 44. which best explains which student is correct?

Respuesta :

The statement that best explains both students approach to the sequence is that; They are both correct.

How to identify sequence patterns?

According to Julia,

AP = -5.5, 11, ...

First term; a = 5.5

common difference; d= 11 - (-5.5)

d = 16.5

Thus;

a₃ = a₂ + d

a₃ = 11 + 16.5

a₃ = 27.5

a₄ = 27.5 + 16.5

a₄ = 44

According to Taquan;

First term; a = -5.5

common ratio; r = 110/-5.5

r = -2

a₃ = -2(11) = -22

a₄ = -2(-22) = 44

Answer :a₄ = -2(-22) = 44

Good luck it just get harder but keep trying
