geometric sequence ,,,t(n) = a(1) r^(n-1)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "given,,,t(4) =a r^(4-1) =ar^3 =8
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "given,,,t(7) =ar^(7-1) = ar^6 =1
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(ar^6 =1)/(ar^3 = 8)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "r^(6-3) =1/8
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "r^3 = 1/8,,,,take cube root
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "r= .5 ,,,,,answer
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "subst,,,,ar^3=8,,,,a*(.5)^3 =8,,,,,a=64,,,,answer
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "check,,,,ar^3=8,,,,,(64)* .5^3 = 8,,,,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "ar^6=1,,,,,,(64)*.5^6 =1,,,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "to find t(10) =ar^(10-1) =ar^9 =(64)*.5^9 = .125 = 1/8,,,answer
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
