In a geometric sequence, the numbers are found by multiplying each number by a fixed amount called a common ratio(r).
a1....this is ur first number....so since a1 = 3, ur first number is 3...and to find ur next numbers, multiply each number by r, the common ratio (which equals 0.5)
first number = 3.......3 x 0.5 = 1.5
second number = 1.5......1.5 x 0.5 = 0.75
third number = 0.75
si the first 3 terms are : 3, 1.5, 0.75
In the question, the given expression is

And we have to find the equivalent expression to the given expression .
First we remove the parenthesis

Now we combine the like terms, and here like terms are z and z, therefore on combining , we will get

And that's the required equivalent expression .
Answer:
it's hypotenuse
then
base^2+length ^2=hypotenuse^2
5^2+9^2=106^2
11236
if wrong correct me pls
have a great day ahead
