It looks like you've uploaded a math worksheet. I'll walk through a few of the problems step by step, starting with a selection. Let me know which ones you'd like a detailed explanation of!
For example, here’s how to solve some of the questions:
Problem 20:
In a geometric sequence, the common ratio is defined as the fixed number multiplied by each term after the first term.
- Option A: Correct! This is the best description of the common ratio. Each term is multiplied by to get the next.
Problem 21:
We need to find the next two terms in the geometric sequence: .
- The ratio is found by dividing by , giving .
- The third term = .
- The fourth term = .
Thus, the next two terms are 1024 and 8192 (Answer: C).
