The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts as per the question. ### Part (i): Find the 10th term of the G.P. 5, 25, 125... **Step 1: Identify the first term and common ratio.** - The first term \( a_1 \) of the G.P. is \( 5 \). - The common ratio \( r \) can be calculated as: \[ r = \frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{25}{5} = 5 \] **Step 2: Use the formula for the nth term of a G.P.** - The formula for the nth term \( a_n \) of a G.P. is given by: \[ a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n-1} \] - Here, we need to find the 10th term \( a_{10} \). **Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula.** - Substitute \( a_1 = 5 \), \( r = 5 \), and \( n = 10 \): \[ a_{10} = 5 \cdot 5^{10-1} = 5 \cdot 5^9 \] **Step 4: Simplify the expression.** - Using the property of exponents: \[ a_{10} = 5^{1 + 9} = 5^{10} \] **Step 5: Calculate the value.** - \( 5^{10} = 9765625 \) Thus, the 10th term of the G.P. is **9765625**. ### Part (ii): Find the nth term of the G.P. 5, 25, 125... **Step 1: Use the same values for the first term and common ratio.** - As established earlier, \( a_1 = 5 \) and \( r = 5 \). **Step 2: Write the formula for the nth term.** - We will use the same formula for the nth term: \[ a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n-1} \] **Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula.** - Substitute \( a_1 = 5 \) and \( r = 5 \): \[ a_n = 5 \cdot 5^{n-1} \] **Step 4: Simplify the expression.** - Using the property of exponents: \[ a_n = 5^1 \cdot 5^{n-1} = 5^{1 + (n-1)} = 5^n \] Thus, the nth term of the G.P. is **\( 5^n \)**. ### Summary of Answers: - (i) The 10th term of the G.P. is **9765625**. - (ii) The nth term of the G.P. is **\( 5^n \)**.
