Linux isnt even suppose to be even close to Unix. Linux is based off of Minix, a micro-kernel architectureâ¦ Minix and Unix are 2 completely different cores, as different as Windows and Mac OS X, Windows and Linux, and Mac and Linux. BSD is a different beast, based on Unix, Linux is based on Minix, OS X is based on BSD.
1 A geometric sequence is one in which the same number is multiplied or divided by each element to get the next element in the sequence. 2  2, 4, 8, 16, ... is a geometric sequence.
A geometric sequence is a sequence such that each successive term is obtained from the previous term by multiplying by a fixed number called a common ratio. The sequence 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, .... is an example of a geometric sequence. The pattern is that we are always multiplying by a fixed number of 2 to the previous term to get to the next term. Be careful that you don't think that every sequence that has a pattern in multiplication is geometric.
