The number of pizzas made each day at Maura's Pizzeria forms a geometric sequence. In a geometric sequence, each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a constant (called the common ratio).
Let's analyze the number of pizzas made each day:
- Thursday: 5 pizzas
- Friday: 25 pizzas
- Saturday: 125 pizzas
- Sunday: 625 pizzas
To find the common ratio, we can divide each term by the previous term:
- From Thursday to Friday: \( \frac{25}{5} = 5 \)
- From Friday to Saturday: \( \frac{125}{25} = 5 \)
- From Saturday to Sunday: \( \frac{625}{125} = 5 \)
Since the common ratio is consistently \(5\), we can conclude that the sequence is indeed a geometric sequence with a common ratio of \(5\).
