Question

What are the values of a 1 and r of the geometric series? 1 3 9 27 81 a 1 = 1 and r = one-third a 1 = one-third and r = 1 a 1 = 1 and r = 3 a 1 = 3 and r = 1.

Answer 1

a₁ = 1

r = 3

Explanation:

Since it’s a geometric series then

a₁ = 1 ( because 1 is the first term of the series)

3/1 = 9/3 = 27/9 = 81/27 = 3 then r=3.
