The correct Answer is:
To find the 4th term from the end of the geometric progression (G.P.) given as \(2\sqrt{2}, 4, \ldots, 128\sqrt{2}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the first term and the last term The first term \(a\) of the G.P. is: \[ a = 2\sqrt{2} \] The last term \(l\) is: \[ l = 128\sqrt{2} \] ### Step 2: Find the common ratio To find the common ratio \(r\), we can use the first two terms: \[ r = \frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{4}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{4}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2} \] ### Step 3: Determine the number of terms in the G.P. We can use the formula for the \(n\)-th term of a G.P.: \[ l = a \cdot r^{n-1} \] Substituting the known values: \[ 128\sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2} \cdot (\sqrt{2})^{n-1} \] Dividing both sides by \(2\sqrt{2}\): \[ \frac{128\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{2}} = (\sqrt{2})^{n-1} \] This simplifies to: \[ 64 = (\sqrt{2})^{n-1} \] Since \(64 = 2^6\), we can express \(64\) in terms of powers of \(2\): \[ 64 = (2^{1/2})^{n-1} = 2^{(n-1)/2} \] Setting the exponents equal gives: \[ 6 = \frac{n-1}{2} \] Multiplying both sides by \(2\): \[ 12 = n - 1 \] Thus, \[ n = 13 \] ### Step 4: Find the 4th term from the end The 4th term from the end can be calculated using the formula for the \(n\)-th term from the end: \[ \text{4th term from the end} = l \cdot r^{-3} \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{4th term from the end} = 128\sqrt{2} \cdot (\sqrt{2})^{-3} \] Calculating \((\sqrt{2})^{-3}\): \[ (\sqrt{2})^{-3} = \frac{1}{(\sqrt{2})^3} = \frac{1}{2^{3/2}} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \] Now substituting this back: \[ \text{4th term from the end} = 128\sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{128\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{128}{2} = 64 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the 4th term from the end of the G.P. is: \[ \boxed{64} \]
