Chapter 8.3, Problem 1E

To determine

To fill:The blank in the given statement.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Consider“A sequence is $\underset{\_}{}$ when the ratios of the consecutive terms are the same. This ratio isthe $\underset{\_}{}$ ratio.

In geometric sequence, the each term after the first term is obtained by multiplying

previous term with some fixed value.

The fixed value is called common ratio.

For example:

Consider the geometric sequence $1,2,4,8,16,\mathrm{..........}$

Common ratio is two.

Hence, the blanks are filled with the terms geometric and common ratio respectively.
