Pen Tool Geometric Sequences In a geometric sequence, the ratio of consecutive terms is a constant. This constant is called the common ratio. Chapter 1 13, 26, 52, 104, 208,... 84, 72, 60, 48, 36,... 5, 11, 17, 23, 29,... 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, , 80, 64, 51.2, 40.96,... Which of the following is a geometric sequence? Use the pen tool to indicate your choice by placing a in the box.
