The first two terms of a geometric sequence are $\"a%5B1%5D=1%2F3\"$ and $\"a%5B2%5D=1%2F6\"$ . How do I find $\"a%5B8%5D\"$ , the eighth term?

\r\n" );
document.write( "First find the common ratio, , by dividing any term by\r\n" );
document.write( "its preceding term.  So \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now use the formula for the th term:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Substitute \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
