Find the first five Geometric terms if r = 2 & a6 = 96 with solution
Added by Julia J.
Step 1
We can use the formula a6 = a1 * r^5, where r is the common ratio and 5 is the number of terms between a1 and a6. Substituting the given values, we get: 96 = a1 * 2^5 a1 = 3 Now we can use the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence: an = a1 * r^(n-1). Show more…
