If (a=6) and (a_7=384), and (r) is positive, what is (r)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(2\)

In a geometric progression, the seventh term is \(a_7=ar^6\). Thus, \(384=6r^6\), so \(r^6=64=2^6\). Since \(r\) is stated to be positive, \(r=2\). Although \(r=-2\) also satisfies \(r^6=64\), it violates the given condition. Exam tip: in \(a_n=ar^{n-1}\), the exponent of \(r\) is always \(n-1\).
