Which of the following is a geometric sequence?A. 3, 6, 12, 24,...B. 2, 7, 12, 17, ...C. 34, 35, 38, 43, ...D. 1, 4, 9, 16, ...

A geometric sequence is a list of number in which each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a constant (called the common ratio)
So, we can study case by case and check in which option this definition applies
At first, we can notice that D is the sequence n^2, which is not a geometric sequence
As for C, we can see that this sequence is
[tex]a_1,a_1+1,(a_1+1)+3_{}[/tex]Which is an arithmetic sequence and not a geometric one.
As for B, we can see that the sequence is simply
[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}+5_{}[/tex]Which is another arithmetic sequence.
Finally, in the case of option A, the sequence has the form:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_n=2a_{n-1} \\ a_0=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]Which is a geometric sequence as we found that the common ratio is equal to 2 and the initial value of the sequence is 3.
Therefore, the answer is option A
