|
Answer» The nth term from the end is given by: an = l (1/r)n-1 where, l is the last term, r is the common ratio, n is the nth term Given: last term, l = 1/4374 r = t2/t1 = (1/6) / (1/2) = 1/6 × 2/1 = 1/3 n = 4 So, an = l (1/r)n-1 a4 = 1/4374 (1/(1/3))4-1 = 1/4374 (3/1)3 = 1/4374 × 33 = 1/4374 × 27 = 1/162 ∴ 4th term from last is 1/162. |
