1. You are given the 3rd and 5th terms of a geometric sequence. Describe how to determine the 10th term without finding the general term.

Respuesta :

The 10th term of the geometric sequence is given as follows:

[tex]a_{10} = a_5\left(\sqrt{\frac{a_5}{a_3}}\right)^{n-5}[/tex]

What is a geometric sequence?

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

[tex]a_n = a_1q^{n-1}[/tex]

In which [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term.

Using the mth term as the reference, we have that:

[tex]a_n = a_mq^{n-m}[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]a_5 = a_3q^2[/tex]

[tex]q = \sqrt{\frac{a_5}{a_3}}[/tex]

And then the 10th term is given as follows:

[tex]a_{10} = a_5\left(\sqrt{\frac{a_5}{a_3}}\right)^{n-5}[/tex]
