How did you get the @K12awesomeness
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6^2 is 36
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its not d
OpenStudy (lyssakat):
hmmm...
First you have to find the common ratio. to find what it being multiplied, divided, etc,
You do that by dividing the second term by the first
i got 0.3

if im wrong someone stop me

a_6 = 0.2916
and
r = 0.3
so...
a5=a6r
a5=0.29160.3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
here u go
OpenStudy (lyssakat):
yeh he got it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
r=a2a1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a5×r=a6
u will get the sixth term if u multiply the fifth by the common ratio
got it ?
