What are the first three terms of a geometric sequence in which a5 = 25 and the common ratio is 5? 1
1 1
25'5'
25,125,625
1 1 1
25' 125'625
125, 25, 5

 First three terms are 1/25, 1/5, and 1 in that order.

Explanation:

The fifth term is 25, which makes the fourth term to be 25*(1/5) = 5. We multiply any term by the reciprocal of the common ratio to move back to the previous term.

The third term is 5*(1/5) = 1. The second term is 1*(1/5) = 1/5. The first term is (1/5)*(1/5) = 1/25

Therefore, the first five terms are:

1/25, 1/5, 1, 5, 25

As we move from left to right, we multiply each term by 5. Going in reverse, we multiply by 1/5.

step-by-step explanation:

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.
