The \"r\" (ratio) is determine as taking the second number divided by the first. That is 3/1, so the ratio is 3.
\n" ); document.write( "a) Using the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence, what is the 10th term?
\n" ); document.write( "\"n+=+a%2Ar%5E%28n-1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"n+=+1%283%29%5E%289%29+=+19683\"
\n" ); document.write( "b) Using the formula for the sum of a geometric series, what is the sum of the first 10 terms?
\n" ); document.write( "\"s=%28%28a%29%281-r%5E%28n%29%29%29%2F%281-r%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s=%28%281-3%5E%2810%29%29%29%2F%281-3%29\"
