The table uploaded by the user represents sequences with geometric progression parameters. The user needs to find the values for the missing parameters in the table for each geometric sequence.
Solution
The table you've uploaded represents sequences with geometric progression parameters. For each row, the values for a1 (first term), r (common ratio), n (term number), an (nth term), and Sn (sum of the first n terms) are provided or need to be found.
Let's break this down row by row, using the geometric sequence formulas:
an=a1×rn−1 (formula for the nth term)
Sn=a1×1−r1−rn (sum of the first n terms, for r=1)
Row 1:
a1=3, r=21, n=6
Find an and Sn.
Using an=a1×rn−1:
a6=3×(21)6−1=3×321=323
Now, for Sn:
S6=3×1−211−(21)6=3×211−641=3×216463=3×64126=64378=5.90625
Row 2:
a1=4, n=5, a5=1024
Find r and Sn.
Using an=a1×rn−1 with a5=1024:
1024=4×r5−1=4×r4r4=41024=256⇒r=4
