Note: The third term of the sequence should be
instead of
, otherwise the sequence has no common ratio.
Given:
The given sequence is

To find:
The common ratio of the given sequence.
Solution:
The quotient of each pair of consecutive terms are:

Similarly,


And,


Therefore, the common ratio of the given sequence is
or 0.75.
Answer:
Note that orthogonal to the plane means perpendicular to the plane.
Step-by-step explanation:
-1x+3y-3z=1 can also be written as -1x+3y-3z=0
The direction vector of the plane -1x+3y-3z-1=0 is (-1,3,-3).
Let us find a point on this line for which the vector from this point to (0,0,5) is perpendicular to the given line. The point is x-0,y-0 and z-0 respectively
Therefore, the vector equation is given as:
-1(x-0) + 3(y-0) + -3(z-5) = 0
-x + 3y + (-3z+15) = 0
-x + 3y -3z + 15 = 0
Multiply through by - to get a positive x coordinate to give
x - 3y + 3z - 15 = 0
