The correct Answer is:
To find the 8th term of the sequence given by \( \frac{3}{4}, \frac{3}{2}, 3, \ldots \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the first term and the common ratio The first term \( a \) of the sequence is: \[ a = \frac{3}{4} \] ### Step 2: Determine the second term The second term is given as \( \frac{3}{2} \). ### Step 3: Calculate the common ratio \( r \) The common ratio \( r \) can be calculated by dividing the second term by the first term: \[ r = \frac{\text{second term}}{\text{first term}} = \frac{\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{4}{2} = 2 \] ### Step 4: Use the formula for the nth term of a geometric progression The formula for the \( n \)th term of a geometric progression is given by: \[ T_n = a \cdot r^{n-1} \] We need to find the 8th term, so we set \( n = 8 \): \[ T_8 = a \cdot r^{8-1} = \frac{3}{4} \cdot 2^{7} \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( 2^{7} \) Calculating \( 2^{7} \): \[ 2^{7} = 128 \] ### Step 6: Substitute back into the formula Now we substitute back into the formula: \[ T_8 = \frac{3}{4} \cdot 128 \] ### Step 7: Simplify the expression Calculating \( \frac{3 \cdot 128}{4} \): \[ = \frac{384}{4} = 96 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the 8th term of the sequence is: \[ \boxed{96} \] ---
