Geometric sequence: 0.125, T(2), T(3), T(4), T(5), T(6), 8
Let r be the common ratio of the geometric sequence.
The first term, a = 0.125
The seventh term, T(7) = 8
The seventh term:
T(7) = a r⁶
8 = 0.125 r⁶
r⁶ = 8/0.125
r⁶ = 64
r⁶ = 2⁶
r = 2
T(2) = 0.125 × 2 = 0.25
T(3) = 0.25 × 2 = 0.5
T(4) = 0.5 × 2 = 1
T(5) = 1 × 2 = 2
T(6) = 2 × 2 = 4
Hence, the inserted 5 numbers are 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4.
