Question -

Show that the sequence defined by an = 2/3n,n  N is a G.P.



Answer -

Given:

an =2/3n

Let us consider n = 1,2, 3, 4, … since n is a natural number.

So,

a1 =2/3

a2 =2/32 = 2/9

a3 =2/33 = 2/27

a4 =2/34 = 2/81

In GP,

a3/a2 =(2/27) / (2/9)

= 2/27 × 9/2

= 1/3

a2/a1 =(2/9) / (2/3)

= 2/9 × 3/2

= 1/3

Common ratio ofconsecutive term is 1/3. Hence n  N is a G.P.
