Answer:


Explanation:

Use the geometric sequence of numbers 1, 3, 9, 27, � to find the following:

a) What is r, the ratio between 2 consecutive terms?

Answer: r=3

Show work in this space.

r=a2/a1=a3/a2=a4/a3 they all have the same ratio.

r=3/1=9/3=27/3=3

:



b) Using the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence, what is the 10th term?

Answer: a10=19683

Show work in this space.

an=a1*r^(n-1)

a10=1(3)^(10-1)
