Sum of 10 terms is n(r10-1)/(r-1) where n = 1st term. Sum of 20 is n(r20-1)/(r-1) so ratio is (r20-1)/(r10-1). Let r10 be called x. So the ratio is (x2-1)/(x-1) which is just x+1, so x=243. The common ratio is therefore the 10th root of this. Which is square root of 3.
The common ratio is the ratio of the nth term (n > 1) to the (n-1)th term. For the progression to be geometric, this ratio must be a non-zero constant.
Divide any term, except the first, by the term before it.
It is a geometric progression with common ratio 0.5
In an arithmetic progression the difference between each term (except the first) and the one before is a constant. In a geometric progression, their ratio is a constant. That is, Arithmetic progression U(n) - U(n-1) = d, where d, the common difference, is a constant and n = 2, 3, 4, ... Equivalently, U(n) = U(n-1) + d = U(1) + (n-1)*d Geometric progression U(n) / U(n-1) = r, where r, the common ratio is a non-zero constant and n = 2, 3, 4, ... Equivalently, U(n) = U(n-1)*r = U(1)*r^(n-1).
15. It's a Geometric Progression with a Common Ratio of 1/5 (or 0.2).
The common ratio is the ratio of the nth term (n > 1) to the (n-1)th term. For the progression to be geometric, this ratio must be a non-zero constant.
Yes, the common ratio in a geometric progression can be 1. In a geometric progression, each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor, known as the common ratio. When the common ratio is 1, each term is equal to the previous term, resulting in a sequence of repeated values. This is known as a constant or degenerate geometric progression.
For an Arithmetic Progression, Sum = 15[a + 7d].{a = first term and d = common difference} For a Geometric Progression, Sum = a[1-r^15]/(r-1).{r = common ratio }.
Divide any term, except the first, by the term before it.

The geometric series is, itself, a sum of a geometric progression. The sum of an infinite geometric sequence exists if the common ratio has an absolute value which is less than 1, and not if it is 1 or greater.

Find the 7th term of the geometric sequence whose common ratio is 1/2 and whose first turn is 5
To find the first term and common ratio of a geometric progression, we can use the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence: (a_n = a_1 \times r^{(n-1)}). Given that the 6th term is 160 and the 9th term is 1280, we can set up two equations using these values. From the 6th term, we get (a_1 \times r^5 = 160), and from the 9th term, we get (a_1 \times r^8 = 1280). By dividing the two equations, we can eliminate (a_1) and solve for the common ratio (r).
