How many terms are in the geometric sequence?
\[3, 3 \sqrt 2, 6, \dots, 96, 96 \sqrt 2, 192\]
The common ratio is sqrt(2).
The sqrt(2) can be written as 21/2.
A formula for the nth term of a geometic sequence is: an = a1 · rn - 1.
Filling in the known values: 192 = 3 · (21/2)n - 1
Dividing by 3: 64 = (21/2)n - 1
Rewriting 64: 26 = (21/2)n - 1
Looking at only the exponents: 6 = (1/2)(n - 1)
12 = n - 1
n = 13
