Which term of the $GP.,$ $2,8,32, \ldots$ up to $n$ terms is $131072 ?$
Which term of the $GP.,$ $2,8,32, \ldots$ up to $n$ terms is $131072 ?$
Let $131072$ be the $n^{\text {th }}$ term of the given $G.P.$ Here $a=2$ and $r=4$
Therefore $\quad 131072=a_{n}=2(4)^{n-1} \quad$ or $\quad 65536=4^{n-1}$
This gives $4^{8}=4^{n-1}$
So that $n-1=8,$ i.e., $n=9 .$ Hence, $131072$ is the $9^{\text {th }}$ term of the $G.P.$
