The sum of the first six terms of the geometric sequence 1, 2, 4, 8, ... is equal to the sum of
the first six terms of an arithmetic sequence that also has 1 as its first term. What is the
fifth term of the arithmetic sequence?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of first six  terms of given G.P.=1+2+4+8+16+32=63

let d be c.d. of A.P.

first six terms are 1,1+d,1+2d,1+3d,1+4d,1+5d

1+1+d+1+2d+1+3d+1+4d+1+5d=63

6+15d=63

15d=63-6=57

divide by 3

5d=19

d=19/5=3.8

fifth term=1+4d=1+3.8*4=1+15.2=16.2

Isn’t it 16. I’m sorry but that’s what the pattern of the geometric sequence looks as if to be correct.
