Answer: A) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

If the third term is 20, it means that

T3 = 20 = ar^(3 - 1)

20 = ar²- - - - - - - - - - 1

If the third term is 20, it means that

T5 = 5 = ar^(5 - 1)

5 = ar⁴- - - - - - - - - - 2

Dividing equation 2 by equation 1, it becomes

5/20 = r⁴/r²

1/4 = r^(4 - 2)

(1/2)² = r²

r = 1/2

Why not?<br> If 4 + 6 = 10, does (4 + 6) X 3 = 10 X 3? Why<br> or why not?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

It would be 10*3

Step-by-step explanation:

If we follow the rule of BIDMAS or BODMAS, they both have Brackets to be done first.

By meaning we must do 4+6 as it is in the bracket. Then we multiply our answer by 3.

What is the relationship between 5.34×1055.34×105 and 5.34×10−25.34×10−2 ? Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete
Anton [14]
The relationship between 5.34×105 and 5.34×10−2 would be that the former number is 10000000 times larger than the latter value. We can obtain this by dividing 5.34×105 and 5.34×10−2 where the quotient would be 10000000. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
