Find the first term and common ratio for the geometric sequence a2 =2.5,a4=62.5

a1 = 0.5; common ratio = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common ratio = r

a2 = 2.5

a3 = 2.5r

a4 = 2.5r * r = 2.5r^2

We are told a4 = 62.5, so

2.5r^2 = 62.5

Divide both sides by 2.5

r^2 = 25

r = 5

a2 = a1 * r

a1 = a2/r = 2.5/5 = 0.5

a1 = 0.5; common ratio = 5

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,

replication and blocking
