To find the common ratio in a geometric sequence, we divide each term by the previous term.
12/2 = 6
18/12 = 1.5
132/18 = 7.33...
We can see that the common ratio is approximately 7.33. However, none of the given options match this ratio.
What is the common ratio in the following geometric sequence?
2, 12 , 18 , 132 , . . .
