Find the 2015th term of the geometric sequence 1,−1/3,-1/6,−1/9 ,.
Find the 2015th term of the geometric sequence 1,−1/3,-1/6,−1/9 ,.
In a geometric sequence, the common ratio, r between any two consecutive terms is always the same.
Any termPrevious term=unun−1= constant =r
1,−13,−16,−19,−⋯u1=1u2=−13u3=−16u4=−19⋯
If three terms, un, un+1, un+2 are in geometric sequence, then:
un+2un+1=un+1un
We have
u2u1=−131=−13≠u3u2=−16−13=12≠u4u3=−19−16=23
Sorry, this is not a geometric sequence.
