Question 35529: I have trouble with these remaining problems i could use some help answering these thank you
Geometric sequencing
three of the five variables a1, an, r, n, and Sn are given. Find the two variables not given.
a1 = 10, r = 3, n = 5
a1 = 4, an = 324, r = 3
an = 24, r = , n = 4
Sn = 1022, r = 2, n = 9

FORMULAE ARE
AN=A1*R^(N-1)
SN=A1*(R^N -1)/(R-1)
a1 = 10, r = 3, n = 5......AN=10*3^(5-1)=810...SN =10*(3^5-1)/(3-1)=1210.
a1 = 4, an = 324, r = 3....324=4*3^(N-1)...N=5...SN=4*(3^5 -1)/(3-1)=484
an = 24, r = 2, n = 4....24=A1*2^(4-1)...A1=3...SN=3*(2^4 -1)/(2-1)=45
Sn = 1022, r = 2, n = 9 ...1022=A1(2^9 -1)/(2-1)=A1*(512-1)=511A1...A1=2
AN=2*2(9-1)=512
