Answer:

10th term of the sequence 64,16,4... = 1/4096

Explanation:

Points to remember

nth term of GP is given by.

Tₙ = ar⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾

Where r is the common ratio and a is the first term

To find the 10th term of given GP

It is given that,

64, 16, 4,......

a = 64 and 6 = 1/4 Here

T₁₀ = ar⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾

= 64 * (1/4)⁽¹⁰⁻¹⁾ = 64 * (1/4⁹)

= 4³/4⁹ = 1/4⁶ = 1/4096
