To determine

To find next three term of the sequence 150, 75, 37.5, 18.75, 9.375 ........

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 7.33EP

Sixth term is 4.6875

Seventh term is 2.43375

Eighth term is 1.171875

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The sequence 150, 75, 37.5, 18.75, 9.375 ........

Formula used:

  an=arn1

where as,

  an is the nth term of the geometric sequence

  a is first term in geometric sequence

  r is common ratio of the geometric sequence

Calculation:

The sequence 150, 75, 37.5, 18.75, 9.375 ........

  a=a1=150

  a2=75

Common ratio

  r=75150

On solving,

  r=0.5

Using formula to calculate sixth, seventh, and eighth term of sequence

  a6=ar5

On putting value of a and r

  a6=150(0.5)5

On solving,

  a6=4.6875

Then, sixth term is 4.6875

  a7=ar6

On putting value of a and r

  a7=150(0.5)6

On solving,

  a7=2.34375

Then, seventh term is 2.43375

  a8=ar7

On putting value of a and r

  a8=150(0.5)7

On solving,

  a8=1.171875

Then, eighth term is 1.171875
