Answer :
We will have the following:
We will be able to tel apart sequences as follows:
Linear sequence: We have that linear sequences follow the form:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]Here "x" represents the iteration value for the sequence, "m" the ratio (slope) and "b" a value that modifies the "position" of the sequence. This sequences grows in a linear manner.
Example:
[tex]\begin{cases}y_{}=2x+2 \\ \\ y_1=4 \\ y_2=6 \\ y_3=8 \\ \ldots\end{cases}[/tex]Exponential sequence: We have that exponential sequences follow the form:
[tex]y=a_1(r)^{x-1}[/tex]Here "a1" is the first term of the sequence, "r" is the ratio and "x" the iteration of the sequence.
We obtain the ratio as follows:
[tex]r=\frac{y_n}{y_{n-1}}[/tex]Example:
[tex]\begin{cases}y=1(5)^{x-1}_{} \\ \\ y_1=1 \\ y_2=5 \\ y_3=25 \\ \\ \ldots\end{cases}[/tex]The ratio for this case:
[tex]r=\frac{y_3}{y_2}\Rightarrow r=\frac{25}{5}\Rightarrow r=5[/tex]Quadratic sequence: A quadratic sequence follows the general form
