A G.P is such that the 3rd term minus a first term is 48. The 4th term minus 2nd term 144. Find: (i) Common ratio ii) The first
term (ii) 6th term of the sequence
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
r is the common ratio.
Third term minus first term is 48.
a₃ - a₁ = 48
a₃ = a₁r²
a₁r² - a₁ = 48
a₁(r²-1) = 48
r²-1 = 48/a₁
Fourth term minus second term is 144.
a₄ - a₂ = 144
a₂ = a₁r
a₄ = a₁r³
a₁r³ - a₁r = 144
a₁r(r²-1) = 144
r²-1 = 144/(a₁r)
48/a₁ = 144/(a₁r)
r = 3
:::::
r²-1 = 48/a₁
a₁ = 6
:::::
a₆ = a₁r⁵ = 1458
