Given:
Consider the given sequence is 9, 81, 729, 6561.
To find:
The common ratio.
Solution:
We have,
9, 81, 729, 6561
Here,
First term = 9
Second term = 81
Divide the second term by first term to get the common ratio.
[tex]r=\dfrac{81}{9}[/tex]
[tex]r=9[/tex]
Similarly,
[tex]\dfrac{81}{9}=\dfrac{729}{81}=\dfrac{6561}{729}=9=r[/tex]
Therefore, the common ratio is 9.
