#"these are the terms of a "color(blue)"geometric sequence"#
#a,ar,ar^2,ar^3, ...... ,ar^(n-1)#
#"where a is the initial term and r is the common ratio"#
#•color(white)(x)ar^(n-1)larrcolor(blue)"is the nth term"#
#•color(white)(x)r=a_2/a_1=a_3/a_2=...... =a^n/a^(n-1)#
#"here "r=(1/3)/(2/3)=(1/6)/(1/3)=(1/12)/(1/6)=1/2#
