The second term of a G.P. is 3 and the fifth term is 81/8. Find the eighth term.The first term of a G.P. is 375 and the fourth term is 192. Find the common ratio and the sum of the first four terms.
Added by Christopher G.
Step 1
Given that the second term of the G.P. is 3 and the fifth term is 81/8, we can use the formula for the nth term of a G.P.: \(T_n = ar^{n-1}\). Plugging in the values for the second term (n=2) and the fifth term (n=5), we get: \(3 = ar^{1}\) and \(81/8 = Show more…
