The nth term of a progression is 2^(n). ...

The nth term of a progression is `2^(n).` Prove that it is G.P. Also find its common ratio.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
N/a
`T_(n)=2^(n)`
`rArr" "T_(n-1)=2n^(n-1)`
`therefore" "T_(n)/(T_(n-1))=(2^(n))/2^(n-1)=2`
which does not depend on n.
Therefore, given progression is G.P. Hence Proved. Its common ratio is 2.
