g₃ = 4
g₇ = 64
g₇/g₃ = 64/4
g₇ = ar⁷⁻¹ = ar⁶
g₃ = ar³⁻¹ = ar²
so,
=> r⁶⁻² = 16
=> r⁴ = 16
=> r = 2
ar² = 4
a x 2² = 4
a = 4/4 = 1
g₁₀ = ar¹⁰⁻¹ = ar⁹ = 1 x 2⁹ = 512
Step-by-step explanation:
No worries, I can help you with that!
Let the first term of the GP be "a" and the common ratio be "r".
Then, the third term is ar^2 = 4, and the seventh term is ar^6 = 64.
Dividing the two equations, we get:
(ar^6) / (ar^2) = 64/4
Simplifying, we get:
r^4 = 4
Taking the fourth root of both sides, we get:
r = ±√2
Since we want a positive common ratio, we take r = √2.
Now we can use the formula for the nth term of a GP:
an = ar^(n-1)
Substituting n = 10, a = ?, and r = √2, we get:
a10 = a√2^9
We still need to find the value of a. To do this, we can use the third term of the GP:
a√2^2 = 4
a = 4 / 2 = 2
Now we can substitute a = 2 into the formula for the tenth term:
a10 = 2√2^9
a10 = 512
Therefore, the tenth term of the GP is 512.
