Find the common ratio of the geometric sequence 18,-72,288,...

Answer:

<em>The common ratio of the geometric sequence is -4</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Geometric Sequence</u>

A geometric sequence is defined as a series of numbers that follow a fixed pattern: Each term equals the previous term times a fixed number called the common ratio. The recursive formula is:

a_n=a_{n-1}*r

Where r is the common ratio.

We are given three terms of a geometric sequence:

18,-72,288,...

To find the common ratio, just divide each term by the previous term:

\displaystyle r=\frac{-72}{18}=-4

Make sure it's a fixed number and test with the third term:

\displaystyle r=\frac{288}{-72}=-4

Since both numbers coincide, the common ratio of the geometric sequence is -4

Step-by-step explanation:

पति ऑफिस से घर आया... और खाना खाने बैठा

खाते-खाते उसने अपनी पत्नी से कहा कि

"खाना ठीक नहीं है, कोई टेस्ट नहीं आ रहा है।"

पत्नी चुपचाप उठी, और उसने कॉरपोरेशन मेंं कॉल किया और एम्बुलेंस को बुला ली

और कहा..

"इन्हे टेस्ट नहीं आ रहा है.."

एम्बुलेंस पति को ले गयी और उसे क्वॉरंटाइन कर दिया

अस्पताल में पत्नी ने पति को फोन किया और पूछा: अब आया स्वाद??

यहाँ तक की कहानी सबने सुनी होगी। अब देखिये कहानी में नया मोड़:

उधर पति को पूछा गया कि

"आपके संपर्क में कौन-कौन आया था ?"

पति ने बड़ी ही शांति से कहा..

- मेरी पत्नी

- मेरा ससुर

- मेरी सास

- मेरा साला

- मेरी साली

बस अब ये सब भी अस्पताल के बिस्तर पर बैठे-बैठे पति को घूर रहे हैं!

Moral of the story is

बेजुबान को ज्यादा सताना भी ठीक
