Question

5, 10.5, 22.05, 46.305, If it is a geometric sequence, choose the common ratio. If it is not a geometric sequence, choose "not geometric.

Answer 1

Answer:

This is a geometric sequence since there is a common ratio between each term. In this case, multiplying the previous term in the sequence by  

2.1

gives the next term. In other words,  

a

n

=

a

1

⋅

r

n

−

1

.

Geometric Sequence:  

r

=

2.1

This is the form of a geometric sequence.

r

n

−

1

Substitute in the values of  

a

1

=

5

and  

r

=

2.1

.
