Question:
Find the $5$th term of the given geometric sequence, where $a_n$ denotes the $n$th term, $q$ is common ratio, and $s_n$ is the sum of the first $n$ terms of the sequence.
The sum of the first five terms of a geometric sequence is less than $1$ and the common ratio is $10$. Determine all possible values of the first term.
Let there be a row of five yellow cubes lying side by side. The first cube has an edge length of \( 100\,\mathrm{cm} \) and each next cube has an edge length by \( 10\,\mathrm{cm} \) shorter than the previous one. Let there be a second row of five blue cubes lying side by side. The first blue cube has an edge length of \( 100\,\mathrm{cm} \) and each next cube has an edge length by \( 10\% \) smaller than the previous one. What is the difference between the length of these two rows?
