Answer 1

Answer:

Hello,

Step-by-step explanation:

$Let\ (u_n)\ the\ geometric\ progression.\\\\r\ is\ the\ common\ ratio.\\\\u_3=u_0*r^3\\u_6=u_0*r^6\\\\\dfrac{u_6}{u_3} =r^3=\dfrac{\frac{243}{16} }{\frac{9}{2} } =\dfrac{27}{8} =(\frac{3}{2} )^3\\\\\boxed{r=\dfrac{3}{2} }\\\\\\u_3=u_1*r^2 \Longrightarrow\ u_1=\dfrac{u_3}{r^2} =\dfrac{\frac{9}{2} }{(\frac{3}{2^2}) } =2\\\\\\u_7=u_6*\dfrac{3}{2} =\dfrac{729}{32}$
