The first and last term of a gp are 5 and 80 respectively what is the
4th term
In a geometric progression (GP), each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant value, called the common ratio (r).
Given the first term (a1) as 5 and the last term (an) as 80, we need to find the fourth term (a4).
We can use the formula for the nth term of a GP:
an = a1 * r^(n-1)
Let's substitute the given values into the formula:
80 = 5 * r^(n-1)
Divide both sides by 5:
16 = r^(n-1)
To find the value of r, we need additional information.
