BEED 1A

1. Insert Four Geometric Means (GM) Between 5 and 160

 5,___,____,_____,_____, 160

 Given: r= common ratio


a= first term
a=5 n=number of term
n= 6
r=?
5x2=10 -------2nd term
 FORMULA/SOLUTION: 10x2=20 -------3rd term
Ln=a r n−1 20x2=40 -------4th term
L6=5 r 6 −1
40x2=80 -------5th term
L160 =5 r 5
80x2=160 -------last term
160 5 r 5
=  ANSWER:
5 5
5
5, 10 , 20 , 40 , 80, 160
√5 32=√ r 5
r=2
2.The third term of Geometric Progression is 5 and 6th term is -40,
find the 8th term:
____,_____, 5 ,____, _____, -40, ____, _____

Find: r= common ratio


a=? a= first term
r=? n=number of term
8th term=?

SOLUTION:

 L3=ar n−1 L6=a r n−1


5=a r 3−1 −40=a r 6 −1
5=a r 2 −40=a r 5
−40=a r 2

7
√7 −8=√ r 7
-2=r  L8=a r n−1
r=-2 L8=(1.25)(−2)8 −1
L8=(1.25)(−2)7
L8=(1.25)(−128)
L8=−160
 L6=a r n−1
−40=a r n−1
−40=a r 6 −1 1.25X-2=-2.5
−40=a (−2)5 -2.5X-2=5 r=-2
−40=−32 a 5X-2=-10 a=1.25
−32−32 -10X-2=20 8th term=-160
1.25=a 20X-2=-40
a=1.25 -40X-2=80
80X-2=160
ANSWER:

1.25, -2.5 , 5 , -10 , 20 , -40 , 80 , -160
