To shift the sequence, change 'a'

Answer 2

\(\large\tt \color{black}{\dfrac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}}\)

\(\large\tt \color{black}{\text{where a = first term and r is common ratio}}\)

Answer 3

okay

Answer 4

do you know how to find the common ratio

Answer 5

its \[\frac{ 1 }{ 16 }\div \frac{ 1 }{ 64}\]

its
\(\large\tt \color{black}{\text{2nd term divided by first term or }}\)

\(\large\tt \color{black}{\text{3rd term divided by 2nd term or }}\)

\(\large\tt \color{black}{\text{4th term divided by 3rd term }}\)

Answer 6

oh okay

Answer 7

\(\large\tt \color{black}{\text{and n = number of terms in series}}\)
