Given the following terms of a geometric sequence: a1=7, a11=7340032 ; Determine r and a8

Sagot :

Answer:

r = 4

a8 = 114,688

Step-by-step explanation:

a1=7

a11 = 7340032

a11 = a1*r^10

7340032 = 7 * r^10

7340032 = 7r^10

r^10 = 7340032/7

r^10 = 1,048,576

Find the 10th root of both sides

10√r^10 = 10√1,048,576

r = 4

a8 = a1 * r^7

= 7 * 4^7

= 7 * 16,384

= 114,688

a8 = 114,688
