​The first term of a geometric sequence is 2/3 . The next three terms are 1/2 , 3/8, and 9/32. What is the tenth term of the sequence

Respuesta :

Answer:

  6561/131072

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the 10th term of the geometric sequence that begins 2/3, 1/2, 3/8, ...

Ratio

The common ratio of the sequence is ...

  (1/2)/(2/3) = 3/4

  (3/8)/(1/2) = 3/4

N-th term

The n-th term is given by ...

  an = a1·r^(n -1) . . . . . . . . where a1 is the first term and r is the ratio

The 10th term will be ...

  a10 = (2/3)(3/4)^10 -1) = 6561/131072

The tenth term of the sequence is 6561/131072.
