Determine whether the sequence is geometric.If so, find the common ratio.   $55,50,45,40 , \ldots$  
A)Geometric sequence, $r = 4$
B)Geometric sequence, $r = 6$
C)Geometric sequence, $r = 5$
D)Geometric sequence, $r = 7$
E)Not a geometric sequence

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence is not geometric because the ratio between consecutive terms is not constant; instead, the sequence decreases by a constant difference of 5, making it an arithmetic sequence, not geometric.
