What is the 8th term of the geometric sequence where a1 = 1024 and a3 = 64,

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

powers of two

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

a3 = third term = a1r^2 now you can find r and eighth term = a1 r^7

Parth (parthkohli):

The 2nd one would be 2^8 because a1 is 2^6 and a3 is 2^10....So, it'd be 2^(4 + 2n) 2^(4 + 16) 2^20

Parth (parthkohli):

Calculator to calculate 2^20 :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does 1048576 have to do with anything?

Parth (parthkohli):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parth (parthkohli):

It's a geometric sequence, and we're multiplying 4 everytime.
