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.
The following sequences are geometric sequences: Sequence A: 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , ... Sequence B: 0.01 , 0.06 , 0.36 , 2.16 , 12.96 , ... Sequence C: 16 , -8 , 4 , -2 , 1 , ... For sequence A, if we multiply by 2 to the first number we will get the second number. This works for any pair of consecutive numbers. The second number times 2 is the third number: 2 Ã 2 = 4, and so on. For sequence B, if we multiply by 6 to the first number we will get the second number.
