Math Problem Statement
- find the 8th term of the series 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 ..
Solution
The given series is:
This is a geometric sequence where the first term , and the common ratio can be found by dividing the second term by the first:
The formula for the -th term of a geometric sequence is:
To find the 8th term ():
So, the 8th term of the series is:
