A geometric series is the collection of an unlimited number of terms with a fixed ratio between them. The missing value in the table below is 343. The correct option is A.
<h3>What is geometrical series?</h3>
A geometric series is the collection of an unlimited number of terms with a fixed ratio between them.
The given table if closely observed forms a geometric progression, this is because the value of the dependent variable, y is increasing by a common ratio. The common ratio in the table is,
Common ratio = y₂/y₁ = 1/(1/7) = 7
Now, for any geometric progression, the value of the nth term is given as,
Tₙ = a₁ (r)⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾
where a₁ is the first term of the geometric progression and r is the common ratio. Therefore, the nth term of the series is,
T = a₁ (r)⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾
Tₙ = (1/7) (7)⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾
y = (1/7)(7)⁽ˣ⁻¹⁾
Now, the value of the y when the value of x is 5 is,
y = (1/7)(7)⁽ˣ⁻¹⁾
y = (1/7)(7)⁽⁵⁻¹⁾
y = (1/7)(7)⁴
y = (1/7) × 2401
y = 343
Hence, the missing value in the table below is 343.
