Call a 3-digit number geometric if it has 3 distinct digits which, when read from left to right, form a geometric sequence. Find the difference between the largest and smallest geometric numbers.
The sum of the first terms of a geometric sequence is . The sum of the first terms is . Find the sum of the first terms.
Suppose is a positive integer and is a single digit in base 10. Find if
The sum of an infinite geometric series is a positive number , and the second term in the series is . What is the smallest possible value of ?
Positive integers , , and , with , form a geometric sequence with an integer ratio. What is ?
In an increasing sequence of four positive integers, the first three terms form an arithmetic progression, the last three terms form a geometric progression, and the first and fourth terms differ by . Find the sum of the four terms.
A high school basketball game between the Raiders and Wildcats was tied at the end of the first quarter. The number of points scored by the Raiders in each of the four quarters formed an increasing geometric sequence, and the number of points scored by the Wildcats in each of the four quarters formed an increasing arithmetic sequence. At the end of the fourth quarter, the Raiders had won by one point. Neither team scored more than points. What was the total number of points scored by the two teams in the first half?
Let and be real numbers with and such that
Find .
A sequence of positive integers with and is formed so that the first three terms are in geometric progression, the second, third, and fourth terms are in arithmetic progression, and, in general, for all , the terms are in geometric progression, and the terms , and are in arithmetic progression. Let be the greatest term in this sequence that is less than . Find .
Two distinct, real, infinite geometric series each have a sum of and have the same second term. The third term of one of the series is , and the second term of both series can be written in the form , where , , and are positive integers and is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find .
