Q. Type the missing number in this sequence:1, 10, 100, _, 10,000
Identify Sequence Type: Is the given sequence geometric or arithmetic? Each term seems to be multiplied by a common ratio to obtain the next number. The given sequence appears to be geometric.
Find Common Ratio: Find the common ratio in the geometric sequence. Two consecutive terms are 1 and 10. 110=10 Common Ratio: 10
Multiply by Common Ratio: We multiply each term by the common ratio to get the next term. Sequence: 1,10,100,_,10,000Common Ratio: 10Find the missing number in the sequence. The number before the missing term is 100. 100×10=1,000Missing Number: 1,000
