Divide any term in the sequence by the previous term. That is the common ratio of a geometric series.

If the series is defined in the form of a recurrence relationship, it is even simpler.

For a geometric series with common ratio r, the recurrence relation is

Un+1 = r*Un for n = 1, 2, 3, ...

What is the common ratio of -1148?

The term "common ratio" typically refers to the ratio between consecutive terms in a geometric sequence. However, -1148 by itself does not provide enough context to determine a common ratio, as it is a single number rather than a sequence. If you have a specific geometric sequence in mind, please provide the terms, and I can help you find the common ratio.

Find the common ratio what geometric sequence 3.512 12.292 43.022 150.577 527.020?

The ratio can be found by dividing any (except the first) number by the one before it.


The sum to three terms of geometric series is 9 and its sum to infinity is 8. What could you deduce about the common ratio. Why. Find the first term and common ratio?

The geometric sequence with three terms with a sum of nine and the sum to infinity of 8 is -9,-18, and 36. The first term is -9 and the common ratio is -2.


In a geometric sequence the ratio between consecutive terms is .?

Well, well, well, look who's getting fancy with geometric sequences! When the ratio between consecutive terms is "r," each term is found by multiplying the previous term by "r." So, in simpler terms, if you have a sequence like 2, 4, 8, 16, the ratio between consecutive terms is 2. Math can be sassy too, honey!

Find the common ratio of the following geometric sequence 2.512 11.304 50.868 228.906 1030.077?

Formula for the nth term of general geometric sequence tn = t1 x r(n - 1) For n = 2, we have: t2 = t1 x r(2 - 1) t2 = t1r substitute 11.304 for t2, and 2.512 for t1 into the formula; 11.304 = 2.512r r = 4.5 Check:
