Find the x if the sequence 3, x, 4x/3 is (a)arithmetic and (b)geometric

Mathematics

(a) When the sequence is arithmetic, sequential terms have a common difference.

... x - 3 = (4x/3) - x . . . . differences of sequential terms are equal

... (2/3)x = 3 . . . . . . . add 3-(1/3)x

... x = 9/2 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 3/2

(The arithmetic sequence is 3, 4.5, 6. The common difference is 3/2.)

(b) When the sequence is geometric, sequential terms have a common ratio.

... x/3 = (4x/3)/x . . . . . ratios of sequential terms are equal

... x^2 = 4x . . . . . multiply by 3x

... x = 4 . . . . . . . . divide by x. (the "solution" x=0 is extraneous)

(The geometric sequence is 3, 4, 16/3. The common ratio is 4/3.)

In a geometric sequence, A1 = 0.3 and r=3.Find A12, to the nearest integer
soldi70 [24.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

First terms of geometric sequence, a = 0.3

Common ratio, r = 3

It is required to find the 12th term of a GP. The formula of the nth term is given by :

T_n=ar^{n-1}

Here, n =12

So,

T_{12}=0.3\times 3^{12-1}\\\\T_{12}=0.3\times 3^{11}\\\\T_{12}=53144.1

or

T_{12}=53144

So, the 12th term of the GP is 53144.
