a geometric sequence is a bunch of numbers where you can get from a number to the next number by multiplying the previous number by a certain number
might be confusing so here's an example
1,2,4,8,16
each term is multiplied by 2 to get next term, that number that each term is multiplied by is called the common ratio
formula for geometric sequence is
where is nth term
is first term
r is teh common ratio
n=which term
in our example
1,3, 9, 27, 81
each term is being multiplied by 3 so it is a geometric sequence and thus r=3
also first term is 1 so
so the formula is or in function notation
The answer would be:
3 + 3 + 3 + 3...
... If you mean what I'm thinking.

Rational, whole, integer, sorry I’m not sure what a natural number is though
identity used is
x³ + y³+ z³– 3xyz = (x + y + z) (x² + y² + z² – xy – yz – zx).
then use
(x+y+z)² = x²+y²+z²+2(xy+yz+xz)
225= 83 + 2(xy+yz+xz)
xy+yz+xz = (225-83)/2
xy+yz+xz= 142/2
xy+yz+xz= 71
ok
now use identity
x³ + y³+ z³– 3xyz = (x + y + z) (x² + y² + z² – xy – yz – zx).
now
x³ + y³+ z³– 3xyz = 15 (83 – xy – yz – zx).
= 15[83 - (71)]
= 15×12
=180
