To find : the common ratio for the geometric sequence.
Answer to Problem 14P
8
Explanation of Solution
Given sequence: 7,56,448,3584,.....
Calculation:
A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed , non-zero number called common ratio.
Therefore, common ratio r for a geometric sequence is obtained by dividing any term in the sequence by the previous term.
The common ratio for given geometric sequence is
r=a2a1r=567=8
Thus, common ratio for given geometric sequence is 8.
