Which of the following are geometric series? select all that apply.
0.2 + 0.3 + 0.4 + 0.5
0.2 + 0.6 + 1.8 + 5.4
2 + 10 + 50 + 250
2 + 4 + 6 + 8
22 + 20 + 18 + 16
20 + 10 + 5 + 2.5
identify the value of r and a1 for each geometric series.
0.2 + 0.6 + 1.8 + 5.4
r =
a1 =
2 + 10 + 50 + 250
r =
a1 =
20 + 10 + 5 + 2.5
r =
a1 =

second, third, and sixth options are geometric series

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider analyzing the quotient of two consecutive terms of the series a term divided the one preceding it- (do such for all terms listed) and see if there is a "common ratio" appearing for them.

In the case: 0.2 + 0.6 + 1.8 + 5.4

do: 0.6/0.2 = 3      1.8/0.6 = 3      5.4/1.8 = 3

therefore 3 is the "common ratio" --> r = 3

and the first term of the series is:  a1 = 0.2

In the case: 2 + 10 + 50 + 250

do: 10/2 = 5      50/10 = 5      250/50 = 5

therefore 5 is the "common ratio" --> r = 5

and the first term of the series is:  a1 = 2

In the case: 20 + 10 + 5 + 2.5

do: 10/20 = 0.5      5/10 = 0.5      2.5/5 = 0.5

therefore 0.5 is the "common ratio" --> r = 0.5

and the first term of the series is:  a1 = 20

i don't have the answer rn but go to math papa. it shows the steps and the answer. hope this : )
