Question

How can I find sixth term of a geometric sequence for which A(subscript)2=288 and r=1/4?

Answer 1

the formula for the nth term is a*r^(n-1)

where a = first term and r = common ratio

Answer 2

:)

Answer 3

Okay

Answer 4

you can find the first term by the relation

second term / first term = common ratio

Answer 5

second term ( A2) = 288

Answer 6

how would I find the first term?

Answer 7

secomd term = 288
common ratio = 1/4

A2 / A1 = r

288/A1 = 1/4

find A1
