Question

Find the sixth term of a geometric sequence with t5 = 24 and t8 = 3

Answer 1

Usually, ration would be given, so you could plug it into the formula:

a(n) = a(1)r^(n-1)

Answer 2

*ratio

Answer 3

does the sign mean ratio?

Answer 4

t5 = a*r^4 = 24
t8 = a.r^7 = 3
Dividing one by the other
r^3 = 1/8
r = 1/2
t6 = a.r^5 = t5*r = 24 * 1/2 = 12

Answer 5

The symbol to the right of the 'a' is a multiplication symbol.

Answer 6

oh okayy couldnt tell.. thank you!
