Writing the expression \( \frac{(0.25)^{-2}\cdot (x \colon y^2)^{-2} }{(2y)^4\cdot x^{-2}}\), \( x\neq0\), \( y\neq0 \) in a simplified form, we will get:
The sum of the first \( n \) terms of a geometric sequence is \( 1 \), the common ratio is \( -3 \) and the first term equals \( \frac17 \). Find \( n \).
The sum of the first two terms of a geometric sequence is \( 54 \) and its first term equals \( 3 \). Which of the following statements about its common ratio \( q \) is not valid?
Find the sum of the first five terms of the geometric sequence \( \{a_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty} \), if: \[ \begin{aligned} a_1+a_3&=-10, \\ a_1+a_2&=0. \end{aligned} \]
The sum of the first three terms of a geometric sequence is \( \frac{13}9 \) and the common ratio is \( \frac13 \). Find the sum of all the terms from the \( 3 \)rd to the \( 5 \)th of the sequence.
The sum of the first and the second term of a geometric sequence is \( 2 \), the sum of the third and the fourth term is \( 18 \) and the common ratio is negative. Find the first term.
