The numbers 3, x, and x + 6 form are in G.P. Find nth term

बेरीज

उत्तर

When x = 6, nth term is given by

tn = arn–1, where a = 3, r = `"x"/3 = 6/3` = 2

∴ tn = 3(2)n–1

When x = – 3, nth term is given by

tn = arn–1, where a = 3, r = `"x"/3 = (-3)/3` = – 1

∴ tn = 3(– 1)n–1

Hence, nth term = 3(2)n–1 or 3(– 1)n–1.
