Question
Verify whether the following sequence is G.P. If so, write tn:
2, 6, 18, 54, ...
Solution
2, 6, 18, 54, ...
t1 = 2, t2 = 6, t3 = 18, t4 = 54, …
Here, `"t"_2/"t"_1 = "t"_3/"t"_2 = "t"_4/"t"_3` = 3
Since, the ratio of any two consecutive terms is a constant, the given sequence is a geometric progression.
Here. a = 2, r = 3
tn= arn–1
∴ tn = 2(3n–1)
