Find the common ratio of the sequence below.
2, 4, 8, 16,...
Is the common ratio 2?
4/2 = 2
8/4 = 2
16/8 = 2
Thanks!
You are welcome :)
To find the common ratio in a geometric sequence, we divide any term in the sequence by the previous term. In this case, let's divide each term by the term before it:
4 / 2 = 2
8 / 4 = 2
16 / 8 = 2
As each quotient is equal to 2, we can conclude that the common ratio of the given sequence is indeed 2.
