<h3>Answer: The same or equal</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

Consider an example like 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, ...

The ratio between consecutive terms is

  • 6/3 = 2
  • 12/6 = 2
  • 24/12 = 2
  • 48/2 = 2

Each time we divide any given term over its previous one, we get the same ratio 2. We call this the common ratio. In terms of notation, the variable r is used for the common ratio, so r = 2 in this case.

As another example, the geometric sequence 5, 50, 500, 5000, ... has r = 10 as the common ratio because we multiply each term by 10 to get the next one. Moving forward has us multiply by r, moving backward and we divide by r. The value of r cannot be zero, but it can be negative.

An example with r being negative would be something like

1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, ....

we just bounce back and forth between those two values. In this case, r = -1.

Simplify;<br> 26 ⋅ 26^8<br><br> Please also explain how you got the answer.
antoniya [11.8K]

26 ⋅ 26^8

Multiply by adding the exponents:

Raise 26 to the power of 1 to get:

26^1 * 26^8

Now when you multiply the same number raised to different powers, you add the powers together:

26^1 * 26^8 = 26^(8+1) = 26^9

So 26 * 26^8 simplifies is 26^9
