If (a_3=45) and (a_7=3645), and (r) is positive, what is (r)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(3\)

In a geometric progression, \(a_7=a_3r^{7-3}=a_3r^4\). Thus, \(3645=45r^4\), giving \(r^4=81\). Since \(r\) is positive, \(r=3\). Although \(r=-3\) also satisfies \(r^4=81\), it is excluded by the given positive condition. Exam tip: the exponent of the common ratio equals the difference between the term numbers.
