1.

which term of the following progression 0.00 4010 20.1 is 128

Answer»

It is a geometric progression with common ratio, r=5 ; and first term, a=0.004

the nth term of a geometric progression is given by,

an = a(r)n-1 

for the given question we have, an=128

Hence,            

128=0.004(5)n-1 

32000=5n-1 

Taking log with base 5 on both sides

6.445=n-1 

n=7.445

Since n is not a natural number we can conclude that 128 is not a term of the series.
