Question Please circle either true or false,
    a. (True/False) In a geometric sequence, the common ratio is always positive.
    b. (True/False) A linear system of equations always has a solution.
    c. (True/False) Every function has an inverse.
    d. (True/False) Trigonometric equations do not always have unique solutions.
    e. (True/False) The domain of is all real numbers.
    f. (True/False) The function is defined for all real numbers.


Final Answers
a) False. Nothing in the definition of a geometric sequence requires the common ratio to be always positive. For example,
b) False. Linear systems only have a solution if the lines intersect. So y = x and y = x + 1 will never intersect because they are parallel.
c) False. does not have an inverse.
d) True. has multiple solutions.
e)
