Document Summary

Solution: if x, 3x, and 5x2 are three consecutive terms of a geometric progression find the. Therefore; x=1. 8: (a) the 5th term of an arithmetic progression (a. p. ) is 9 and the 8th term is 27. Find the 31st term? (b)the first term of a geometric progression (g. p. ) is x and the third term is y. (i). Find an expression for the common ratio in terms of x and y. (ii) the first and third terms of a geometric progression (g. p) are 8 and 18 respectively, and the common ratio is positive, find the common ratio We will be ; 5th=a+(n-1)d; where a=1st term, n=the term and d=common difference. We are met to find the the 31st term of the a. p but we do not have the 1st term or the common differenc so before solving; Bear in mind that you ought to find a and d to get an accurate results;
