A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers where the next term equals to the previous term multiplied by a common factor (for example, (3, 6, 12, 24, ...)
is a geometric sequence with the first term ”3” and the common factor ”2”). If
the 5th term of a geometric sequence is 24 and the 7th term is 144, what is the
first term of the sequence?
(A) 2
(B) 3/2
(C) 2/3
(D) 1/3
(E) 1/4

none cuz there are no "following statements" regarding the question

step-by-step explanation:

she gotta workk that a 2

step-by-step explanation:

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
