Question

What is the common ratio in the following geometric sequence?

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct answer:  q = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

3, 12, 48, 192, .....

First term       b₁ = 3

Second term b₂ = 12

Third term     b₃ = 48

Fourth term   b₄ = 192

Common ratio or quotient is:

q = b₂ / b₁ = b₃ / b₂ = 12 / 3 = 48 / 12 = 4

q = 4
