Find the common ratio for the following geometric sequence 5, 8.5, 14.45, 24.565

r = 17/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common ratio be r.  Then 5r = 8.5, and r = 17/10.

step-by-step explanation:

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
