The 5th term in a geometric sequence is 160. the 7th term is 40. what are the possible values of the 6th term of the sequence?

+ or - 70
70
+ or - 80
80

The sixth term of the sequence is:

                    +80 or -80

The 5th term of geometric sequence is given by:

We know that the nth term of a geometric sequence with first term a and common difference r is given by:

Also, we have:

and

on dividing 7th term by 5th term we get:

Hence, the sixth term of the sequence is given by:

         Hence, the sixth term of the geometric sequence is:

                +80 or -80
