Please help me with this awful maths hw D: Is the sequence geometric? If so, identify the common ratio. 1/4, 3/16, 9/64, 27/256, 81/1024, ...

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You can tell if it is geometric by dividing: second term divided by 1st term third term divided by 2nd term fourth term divided by 3rd term and so on. If the answers are all the same, it is geometric and the common ratio is the answer to the division problem.
