I'll compute these values for you now.Here are the results for each geometric sequence:
- of the sequence is 786,432.
- of the sequence is 108.
- of the sequence is 0.0625.
- of the sequence is approximately 4192.63.
Would you like more details or have any further questions? Here are five related questions you might consider:
- How can the formula for a geometric sequence be derived?
- What are the differences between arithmetic and geometric sequences?
- How does the common ratio affect the growth or decay of a geometric sequence?
- Can a geometric sequence have a common ratio of 1? What happens in this case?
- How do you determine the sum of the first terms of a geometric sequence?
Tip: In a geometric sequence, if the common ratio is between 0 and 1, the terms decrease and approach zero.
