If a geometric progression has (a_2=21) and (r=3), what is (a_1)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 7

In a geometric progression, the second term is \(a_2=a_1r\). Thus, \(21=a_1\times 3\), so \(a_1=21\div 3=7\). If 9 were the first term, the second term would be \(9\times 3=27\), not 21. Exam tip: To move back one term in a GP, divide by the common ratio.
