If the first term is 10 and the common ratio of a GP is 3, then write the first five terms of GP.

Expert Solution

First term, a = 10

Common ratio, r = 3

We know the general form of GP for first five terms is given by:

a, ar, ar2, ar3, ar4

a = 10

ar = 10 × 3 = 30

ar2 = 10 × 32 = 10 × 9 = 90

ar3 = 10 × 33 = 270

ar4 = 10 × 34 = 810

Therefore, the first five terms of GP with 10 as the first term and 3 as the common ratio are:

10, 30, 90, 270 and 810

Therefore, the first five terms of GP with 10 as the first term and 3 as the common ratio are:

10, 30, 90, 270 and 810
