Which term of the G.P.:

$2,2\sqrt{2},4,\ \dots\text{is}128?$

✓

Answer

$\sqrt{2},\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{4\sqrt{2}},\ \dots\text{is}\frac{1}{512\sqrt{2}}?$
$\text{t}_\text{n}=\text{ar}^{\text{n}-1}$
$\text{a}=\sqrt{2},\text{r}=\frac{\text{t}_\text{n}}{\text{t}_{\text{n}-1}}=\frac{\text{t}_2}{\text{t}_1}=\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac12$
$\text{t}_\text{n}=\frac{1}{512\sqrt{2}},\text{n}=?$
$\text{t}_\text{n}=\text{ar}^{\text{n}-1}$
$\frac{1}{5125\sqrt{2}}=\big(\sqrt{2}\big)\Big(\frac12\Big)^{\text{n}-1}$
$\frac{1}{512\times\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{2}}=\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^{\text{n}-1}$
$\frac{1}{1024}=\Big(\frac12\Big)^{\text{n}-1}$
$\Big(\frac12\Big)^{10}=\Big(\frac12\Big)^{{\text{n}-1}}$
$10=(\text{n}-1)$
$\text{n}=11$
$\therefore\text{term is 11}^\text{th}.$
$2,2\sqrt{2},4,\ \dots\text{is}128?$
$\text{a}=2,\text{r}=\frac{\text{t}_\text{n}}{\text{t}_{\text{n}-1}}=\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{2}=\sqrt{2},\text{n}=?$
$\text{t}_\text{n}=128$
Also,
$\text{t}_\text{n}=\text{ar}^{\text{n}-1}$
$128=(2)\big(\sqrt{2}\big)^{\text{n}-1}$
$\frac{128}{2}=\big(\sqrt{2}\big)^{\text{n}-1}$
$64=\big(\sqrt{2}\big)^{\text{n}-1}$
$(2)^6=\big(\sqrt{2}\big)^{\text{n}-1}$
$\Rightarrow12={\text{n}-1}$
${\text{n}-13}$
$\therefore13^{\text{th}}\text{ term is 128}.$
