r, the common ratio\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "term 3 \"1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "term 6, \"-9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First find r.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F3%29%2Ar%5E3=-9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"r%5E3=-9%2A3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"r%5E3=-27\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"r=-3\"
\n" ); document.write( "This should be enough for you.
