Geometric sequence

a_n=a1r^{n-1}
r=common ratio
a1=first term
n=which term

2nd term is 50
4th is 112.5

a_2=a1r^{2-1}=50
a_2=a1r^{4-1}=112.5

50=a1r^{1}
112.5=a1r^{3}

therefor
112.5/50=\frac{a1r^3}{ar^1} =r^2=2.25
r^2=2.25
sqrt both sides
r=1.5

the common ratio is 1.5

DochEvi [55]

There are four different choices. Now we have to find which choice best expresses the inequality 1.25x-6.50>50

Now -6.50 has negative sign that means this quantity must be subtracted or represents loss of any kind.


Keeping above sign in mind and reading the given statementns, we see that only choice "a" first the given inequality.


Hence final answer is a).
