Question

What is a possible value for the missing term of the geometric sequence? 39, ___ , 975, ... (1 point)

Answer 1

It probably is 195 but the answer choices aren't supposed to be negative

Answer 2

Answer:

B)  195

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given as geometric series.

Therefore, the common ratio must be the second term divided by the first term.

If we take 195 as the missing term, that is the second term.

common ratio (r) = 195/39 = 5

When we multiply the second term by 5, we have to get the third term.

5*195 = 975

It is true.

Therefore, the missing term is 195.

Answer: B) 195

Thank you.
