here is ur answer bacha
hope its clear to you
Answer:
The required 12th term of the GP is 3072.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the common ratio between the terms is 2.
Also, 8th term of the GP is 192.
Let the first term of the GP be a,
From the properties of geometric progressions,
= > nth term = a x r^( n - 1 ), where a is the first term, r is the common ratio and n is the number of terms.
Therefore,
= > 8th term = 192
= > a x r^( 8 - 1 ) = 192
= > a x 2^( 8 - 1 ) = 192
= > a x 2^7 = 192
= > a = ( 192 / 2^7 ) ...( i )
Hence,
12th term of the GP should be = a x r^( 12 - 1 )
= > 12th term of the GP = ( 192 / 2^7 ) x ( 2^11 )
= > 12th term of the GP = 192 x 2^( 11 - 7 )
= > 12th term of the GP = 192 x 2^4
= > 12th term of the GP = 192 x 16
= > 12th term of the GP = 3072
Hence the required 12th term of the GP is 3072.
