In the equal ratio sequence, Sn = a1 + A2 + a3 + +An, given A3 = 2s2 + 1, A4 = 2s3 + 1, what is the common ratio?

In the equal ratio sequence, Sn = a1 + A2 + a3 + +An, given A3 = 2s2 + 1, A4 = 2s3 + 1, what is the common ratio?

a3=2S2+1
a4=2S3+1
If you subtract the two expressions, you get
a4-a3=2(S3-S2)=2a3
That is, A4 = 3a3
Then, q = A4 / A3 = 3
So, the common ratio is 3
