If the GP.’s 5,10, 20, .......and 1280, 640, 320, ......have their nth terms equal, find the value of n.
In a finite GP. the product of the terms equidistant from the beginning and the end is always same and equal to the product of first and last term.
Let be a finite G.P. with common ratio r. Then,
= mth term from the beginning =
Now,
If the first and the nth terms of a GP. are a and b respectively and if P is the product of first n terms, prove that P2 = (ab)n.
If 4th, 10th and 16th terms of a GP. are x, y and z respectively, Prove that y, z are in GP.
