Question

Look at this geometric sequence0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, ...What is the common ratio for the given sequence?

Answer 1

Given 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, ...

The common ratio of a geometric sequence is the ratio between two consecutive terms.

`\begin{gathered} r=(T_2)/(T_1)=(T_3)/(T_2)_{} \\ r=(0.125)/(0.0625)=2 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the common ratio r is 2
