Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 is the common ratio

hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

common ratio = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a(first term) = 5

aₙ = a.rⁿ⁻¹

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

• 5¹⁰ = 5 r¹⁰⁻¹

5 from one side goes to the denominator of the other side, their powers getting subtracted in the process.

• 5⁹ = r ⁹

since the powers are same, for both sides to be equal their bases too should be same.

• r = 5

Since, r is the common ratio. common ratio of the given GP is 5.
