Answer to Problem 1RE

The statement “In a geometric sequence, the ratio between any two consecutive terms is a constant” is true_.

Explanation of Solution

The given statement is “In a geometric sequence, the ratio between any two consecutive terms is a constant”.

From definition it is clear that in a geometric sequence the first term can be found by multiplying the preceding term by the same number and the ratio of any two consecutive terms is a constant r.

It is given by r=an+1an  (n1).

Therefore, the statement “In a geometric sequence, the ratio between any two consecutive terms is a constant” is true_.
