The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the sequences \( a_n \) and \( b_n \) given by: \[ a_n = \log\left(\frac{5^{n+1}}{3^{n-1}}\right) \] \[ b_n = \left(\log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\right)^n \] We will determine if these sequences are in Arithmetic Progression (AP) or Geometric Progression (GP). ### Step 1: Simplifying \( a_n \) Using the properties of logarithms, we can simplify \( a_n \): \[ a_n = \log(5^{n+1}) - \log(3^{n-1}) \] Using the property \( \log(a^b) = b \log(a) \): \[ a_n = (n+1) \log(5) - (n-1) \log(3) \] Expanding this gives: \[ a_n = n \log(5) + \log(5) - n \log(3) + \log(3) \] \[ a_n = n(\log(5) - \log(3)) + \log(15) \] ### Step 2: Finding the first few terms of \( a_n \) Now we can find the first few terms: - For \( n = 1 \): \[ a_1 = 1(\log(5) - \log(3)) + \log(15) = \log(15) + \log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right) \] - For \( n = 2 \): \[ a_2 = 2(\log(5) - \log(3)) + \log(15) = \log(15) + 2\log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right) \] - For \( n = 3 \): \[ a_3 = 3(\log(5) - \log(3)) + \log(15) = \log(15) + 3\log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right) \] ### Step 3: Checking if \( a_n \) is in AP To check if \( a_n \) is in AP, we need to find the common difference: \[ a_2 - a_1 = \left(\log(15) + 2\log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\right) - \left(\log(15) + \log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\right) = \log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right) \] \[ a_3 - a_2 = \left(\log(15) + 3\log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\right) - \left(\log(15) + 2\log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\right) = \log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right) \] Since the common difference is the same, \( a_n \) is in AP. ### Step 4: Simplifying \( b_n \) Now let's simplify \( b_n \): \[ b_n = \left(\log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\right)^n \] ### Step 5: Finding the first few terms of \( b_n \) - For \( n = 1 \): \[ b_1 = \log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right) \] - For \( n = 2 \): \[ b_2 = \left(\log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\right)^2 \] - For \( n = 3 \): \[ b_3 = \left(\log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\right)^3 \] ### Step 6: Checking if \( b_n \) is in GP To check if \( b_n \) is in GP, we need to find the common ratio: \[ \frac{b_2}{b_1} = \frac{\left(\log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\right)^2}{\log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)} = \log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right) \] \[ \frac{b_3}{b_2} = \frac{\left(\log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\right)^3}{\left(\log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\right)^2} = \log\left(\frac{5}{3}\right) \] Since the common ratio is the same, \( b_n \) is in GP. ### Conclusion Thus, we conclude that: - The sequence \( a_n \) is in Arithmetic Progression (AP). - The sequence \( b_n \) is in Geometric Progression (GP).
