Answer:
1024
Step-by-step explanation:
(i) 6th term of GP is 64.
⇒ a₆ = 64
⇒ ar⁶⁻¹ = 64
⇒ ar⁵ = 64
(ii) 13th term of GP is 8192.
⇒ ar¹³⁻¹ = 8192
⇒ ar¹² = 8192
On dividing (ii) by (i), we get
⇒ (ar¹²)/(ar⁵) = (8192/64)
⇒ r⁷ = 128
⇒ r⁷ = 2⁷
⇒ r = 2
Substitute r = 2 in (i), we get
⇒ ar⁵ = 64
⇒ a(2)⁵ = 64
⇒ a = 64/32
⇒ a = 2
Thus, a = 2 & r = 2.
We use the formula:
a(n) = arⁿ⁻¹
10th term of the GP:
a ₁₀ = ar¹⁰⁻¹
= ar⁹
= 2(2)⁹
= 1024
Therefore, 10th term of GP is 1024.
Hope it helps!
