...which has n — 1 terms before it, is expressed by aq"~l. Let / be this term ; we then have the formula by means of which we can obtain any term without being obliged to find all the terms which precede it. Hence, to find the last term of a progression, we have the following RULE. I. Raise the ratio to a... | |
