Let a be the first term and r be the common ratio respectively. Then
Second term of G.P. is
ar=4. (from the question) …1
4^(th) term of G.P. is
ar^3=64 (from question) …2
Divide 2 by 1
ar^3/ar =64/4
r^2 =16
r=4
If the 2nd term of a Gp is 6 and the 4th term is 54,find the 1st term and the 5th term

not even close. Jeon!
r^2 = 54/6 = 9
r = ±3
a1 = a2/r
a5 = a4*r
r^2 = 54/6 = 9
r = ±3
a1 = a2/r
a5 = a4*r
