Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image contains three geometric sequences and asks to determine the common ratio and find the sum of the terms for each sequence. Here's a breakdown of the problems:
-
Sequence 1:
- Terms: 4, 12, 36, 108, ...
- Find the sum up to 7 terms.
-
Sequence 2:
- Terms: 2, 6, 18, 54, 162, ...
- Find the sum up to 7 terms.
-
Sequence 3:
- Terms: 7, 14, 28, 56, ...
- Find the sum up to 8 terms.
Steps:
The sum of a geometric sequence is given by the formula: where:
- = first term,
- = common ratio,
- = number of terms.
Let’s calculate each one.
