Which term of the `GP sqrt(3), 1/sqrt(3), 1/(3sqrt(3)), 1/(9sqrt(3))`, ... Is `1/(729sqrt(3))` ?

Answer» In the given `GP`, we have `a=sqrt(3)` and `r=(1/sqrt(3)xx1/sqrt(3))=1/3`.
Let its nth term be `1/(729sqrt(3))`. Then,
`T_(n)=1/(729sqrt(3))rArr ar^((n-1))=1/(729 sqrt(3))`
`rArr sqrt(3)xx(1/3)^((n-1))=1/(729sqrt(3))`
`rArr 1/3^((n-1))=1/((729xx3))=1/2187=1/3^(7)`
`rArr n-1=7 rArr n=8`.
Hence, the 8th term of the given GP is `1/(729sqrt(3))`
