Further maths find the first five term of the(7,p)2,6,18 solve the following qestion
What happens if you multiply each term by 3?
and what happens if you only post your question once?
(a) you will get the same response
(b) you will get an answer in the same time
(c) you will avoid annoying those who wish to help, but dislike wasting their time seeing the same problem repeatedly.
All of above.
To find the first five terms of the sequence, we will use the formula for the general term of a geometric sequence:
An = A1 * r^(n-1)
where An is the nth term, A1 is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the position of the term.
Given:
A1 = 2 (the first term)
r = 6/2 = 3 (the common ratio)
To find the first five terms, substitute the values into the formula:
A1 = 2 * 3^(1-1) = 2 * 3^0 = 2 * 1 = 2 (the first term)
A2 = 2 * 3^(2-1) = 2 * 3^1 = 2 * 3 = 6 (the second term)
A3 = 2 * 3^(3-1) = 2 * 3^2 = 2 * 9 = 18 (the third term)
A4 = 2 * 3^(4-1) = 2 * 3^3 = 2 * 27 = 54 (the fourth term)
A5 = 2 * 3^(5-1) = 2 * 3^4 = 2 * 81 = 162 (the fifth term)
Therefore, the first five terms of the sequence (7, p) are:
2, 6, 18, 54, 162
