Question

find the common ratio of the following geometric sequence. 2.512, 11.304, 50.868, 228.906, 1,030.077, ...

Answer 1

In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a common ratio. We determine the ratio as follows:

r = 11.304 / 2.512 = 4.5
r = 50.868 / 11.304 = 4.5
r = 228.906 / 50.868 = 4.5

Therefore, the common ration is 4.5.
