  • Answer

Let ff be a quadratic polynomial with real coefficients, and let g1g_{1} , g2g_{2} , g3g_{3} , ... be a geometric progression of real numbers. Define an=f(n)+gna_{n} = f(n) + g_{n} . Given that a1a_{1} , a2a_{2} , a3a_{3} , a4a_{4} , and a5a_{5} are equal to 1, 2, 3, 14, and 16, respectively, compute g2g1\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} .
