Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question asks to identify an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 4. Let's analyze the given options:
-
2, 8, 32, 128, 512, ...
This is a geometric sequence because the ratio between consecutive terms is not constant addition but rather multiplication (e.g., ). -
4, 6, 8, 10, 12, ...
This sequence has a common difference of , not . -
4, 8, 16, 32, 64, ...
This is also a geometric sequence since each term is multiplied by . -
5, 9, 13, 17, 21, ...
This is an arithmetic sequence, and the common difference is .
Correct Answer: 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, ...
