To determine which statements are true, let's analyze each one based on the context given.
-
She can only afford 3 stickers.
Without seeing the graph, we cannot confirm this statement accurately. However, if the graph shows that Tsedenia's money decreases by a certain amount with each sticker purchased and only reaches a point where she can afford 3 stickers, then this statement could be true. -
She starts with $24.00.
If the graph indicates that Tsedenia's starting point (the highest point before buying stickers) is $24.00, then this statement is true. -
This is an arithmetic sequence.
If the amount of money she has after each sticker purchase decreases by a constant amount (for example, $3.00 for each sticker), then this would represent an arithmetic sequence. -
Each sticker costs $3.00.
If each sticker purchased corresponds to the consistent drop in money on the graph (for example, decreasing by increments of $3.00), then this statement is true. -
This is a geometric sequence.
A geometric sequence involves a constant ratio between terms, which typically involves multiplying by a constant factor. If the money spent per sticker is the same (e.g., $3.00 per sticker), it does not form a geometric sequence, so this statement is false based on typical definitions.
Given the analysis, it is highly likely that the true statements would be:
- She starts with $24.00. (If confirmed by the graph)
- Each sticker costs $3.00. (If confirmed by the graph)
- This is an arithmetic sequence. (If it follows a consistent decrease by a fixed amount per sticker)
The first option cannot be assessed without more information from the graph. The last option is false as it suggests a geometric sequence which does not apply here based on our assumptions regarding sticker costs and total spending.
