The first two terms of a gp are 4 and 6 ,what is the third term
Successfully posted
6/4 = 3/2
the next term is 6 * 3/2 = 9

To find the third term of a geometric progression (GP), we need to determine the common ratio (r) first. The common ratio is found by dividing any term of the sequence by its preceding term.
In this case, we can find the common ratio (r) by dividing the second term (6) by the first term (4):
r = 6/4 = 1.5
Once we have the common ratio, we can use it to find any term in the GP by multiplying the preceding term by the common ratio.
Therefore, to find the third term, we would multiply the second term (6) by the common ratio (1.5):
Third term = 6 * 1.5 = 9
So, the third term of the geometric progression is 9.
