Question -

Which term of the following sequences:

(a) 2, 2√2, 4,… is 128 ? (b) √3, 3, 3√3,… is 729 ?

(c) 1/3, 1/9, 1/27, … is 1/19683 ?



Answer -

(a) The givensequence, 2, 2√2, 4,…

We have,

a = 2 and r = 2√2/2 =√2

Taking the nth termof this sequence as 128, we have

Therefore, the 13th termof the given sequence is 128.

(ii) Given sequence,√3, 3, 3√3,…

We have,

a = √3 and r = 3/√3 =√3

Taking the nth termof this sequence to be 729, we have

Therefore, the 12th termof the given sequence is 729.

(iii) Given sequence,1/3, 1/9, 1/27, …

a = 1/3 and r =(1/9)/(1/3) = 1/3

Taking the nth termof this sequence to be 1/19683, we have

Therefore, the 9th termof the given sequence is 1/19683.
