Determine if each sequence is arithmetic, geometric, or neither. 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, . . .

-8, -4, 0, 4, 8, . . .

2, 3, 5, 8, 13, . . .

Step-by-step explanation:

If ratios are the same, it is geometric:

  8/4 = 16/8 = ... = 2

If differences are the same, it is arithmetic:

  -4-(-8) = 0 -(-4) = ... = 4

If neither is the case, it is neither:

  3-2 ≠ 5 -3

  3/2 ≠ 5/3

In this last sequence we see that differences equal the previous term. This is characteristic of the Fibonacci sequence, which sees wide use in Nature, and has a relationship to the Golden Ratio. (The ratios of successive terms approach the golden ratio (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618.)

TMS = 45.78 m/s

SMS = 45.66 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Vehicle Travel Time (s)

1 40.5

2 44.2

3 41.7

4 47.3

5 46.5

6 41.9

7 43.0

8 47.0

9 42.6

10 43.3

Time mean speed and space mean speed are parameters used to express the speed of a group of vehicles in traffic flow.

Time mean speed is given as the average speed of all the cars

The speed for each vehicle is calculated by dividing the (2000 ft) distance by the time taken by each vehicle to complete that segment of the journey.

Let vehicle = V

Travel time = time

Speed = s

V | Time | speed (ft/s)

1 | 40.5 | 49.383

2 | 44.2 | 45.249

3 | 41.7 | 47.962

4 | 47.3 | 42.283

5 | 46.5 | 43.011

6 | 41.9 | 47.733

7 | 43.0 | 46.512

8 | 47.0 | 42.553

9 | 42.6 | 46.948

10| 43.3 | 46.189

TMS = (Σsᵢ)/N

Σsᵢ = (49.383+45.249+47.962+42.283+43.011+47.733+46.512+42.553+46.948+46.189)

Σsᵢ = 457.823

N = number of vehicles = 10

TMS = 457.823 ÷ 10 = 45.7823 = 45.782 m/s

b) Space mean speed is given as

SMS = N ÷ [Σ (1/sᵢ)]

V | Time | speed | (1/sᵢ)

1 | 40.5 | 49.383 | 0.02025

2 | 44.2 | 45.249 | 0.02210

3 | 41.7 | 47.962 | 0.02085

4 | 47.3 | 42.283 | 0.02365

5 | 46.5 | 43.011 | 0.02325

6 | 41.9 | 47.733 | 0.02095

7 | 43.0 | 46.512 | 0.02150

8 | 47.0 | 42.553 | 0.02350

9 | 42.6 | 46.948 | 0.02130

10| 43.3 | 46.189 | 0.02165

Σ (1/sᵢ) = (0.02025+0.02210+0.02085+0.02365+0.02325+0.02095+0.02150+0.02350+0.02130+0.02165)

Σ (1/sᵢ) = 0.219

SMS = 10 ÷ [Σ (1/sᵢ)] = 10 ÷ 0.219

SMS = 45.662 m/s

Hope this Helps!!!
