what is the next 3 terms in this geometric sequence?... 32, 48, 72, 108

 

Geometric Sequence ... 32, 48, 72, 108, ...

 

The common ratio r is 1.5

 

r=1.5r=4832=7248=10872

 

The  geometric sequence is a, ar, ar2, ar3, ar4, 

 

an+1=anr

 

32,

32*1.5 = 48

48 *1.5 = 72

72 * 1.5 = 108

108 * 1.5 = 162

162 * 1.5 = 243

243 * 1.5 = 364.5

 

The next 3 terms in this geometric sequence 162, 243, 364.5
