ā 15y agoThe 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.
The answer depends on what information you have been provided with.
It is not possible to answer this question without information on whether the terms are of an arithmetic or geometric (or other) progression, and what the starting term is.
Sounds like a Geometric Progression eg 1-3-9-27-81 etc
The nth term of the series is [ 4/2(n-1) ].
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.
The sum to infinity of a geometric series is given by the formula Sā=a1/(1-r), where a1 is the first term in the series and r is found by dividing any term by the term immediately before it.
Divide any term, except the first, by the term before it.
It's a geometric progression with the initial term 1/2 and common ratio 1/2. The infinite sum of the series is 1.
A geometric series represents the partial sums of a geometric sequence. The nth term in a geometric series with first term a and common ratio r is:T(n) = a(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
This is referred to as a geometric progression - as opposed to an arithmetic progression, where each new number is achieved via addition or subtraction.
In an arithmetic progression (AP), each term is obtained by adding a constant value to the previous term. In a geometric progression (GP), each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a constant value. An AP will have a common difference between consecutive terms, while a GP will have a common ratio between consecutive terms.

This appears to be a Geometric Progression with a Common Divisor of -2, so the next term is 50.
