What is the fifth term of the geometric sequence when a1 = 1/2x^2y, a2 = x^3, a3 = (2x^4)/y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[a1=\frac{ 1 }{ 2x^{2y} }, a2=x^3,a3=\frac{ 2x^4 }{ y }\] is this wat u mean?

1/2 * x^2y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im sorry babe i aint getting your question
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Never mind then
OpenStudy (phi):
it looks like you multiply by
\[ \frac{2x}{y} \]
to get to the next term
OpenStudy (phi):
multiply the 3rd term by 2x/y and then multiply by 2x/y again to get the 5th term.
that means multiply the 3rd term by
\[ \frac{4x^2}{y^2} \]
to get the answer

Sooo... 8x^6 / y^3???
OpenStudy (phi):
I have not checked...
\[ \frac{2x^4}{y} \cdot \frac{4x^2}{y^2} \]
that looks like
\[ \frac{8x^6}{y^3} \]
