Question

What is the first four terms in the multiplication or ,geometric , pattern in which the first term is 2 and then each term is multiplied by 7

Answer 1

the sequence is 2, 14, 98, 686.

Explanation:

As we know in any geometric sequence the terms are denoted by

`T_(n)=a(r)^(n-1)`

We have to find the first four terms of geometric sequence which has first term a = 2 and common ratio of the terms r = 7

number of terms = 4

The sequence from the formula will be

`2, 2.7, 2.(7)^(2),2.(7)^(3)`

or the sequence is 2, 14, 98, 686.
