Theme:None
Adjustment# : 20
Difficulty: 700 level

Category Geometric Sequence
Analysis Just plug in. From r*n<100, if we know r value, then we can solve it for n.

Solution/Answer (1)r*50=500 (2)r*100+r*105=2,050 Both conditions are enough to find r.

Answer: D



Problem Num : 4

Category Geometric Sequence
Analysis The rule: increased by same factor.

Solution/Answer x=10*r 14.4=x*r need to find the r. 14.4=10*r^2 r^2 = 144/100. r=12/10 x=12 Discussion: 14.4 can be given as 16.9
