Find the common ratio and write the next two terms for the following: 6561,2187,729,243,81 blank blank
To find the common ratio, we need to divide each term by the previous term.
The first term is 6561.
The second term is 2187. The common ratio is 2187/6561 = 1/3.
The third term is 729. The common ratio is 729/2187 = 1/3.
The fourth term is 243. The common ratio is 243/729 = 1/3.
The fifth term is 81. The common ratio is 81/243 = 1/3.
So, the common ratio is 1/3.
To find the next two terms, we multiply each term by the common ratio.
The sixth term is 81 * (1/3) = 27.
The seventh term is 27 * (1/3) = 9.
So, the next two terms are 27 and 9.
