To find the missing term in the geometric sequence ( \frac{3}{4}, \text{ missing term }, 3 ), we need to determine the common ratio ( r ) of the sequence.

The common ratio ( r ) can be found by dividing any term in the sequence by the preceding term.

So, ( r = \frac{3}{3/4} = 4 ).

Now, we can find the missing term by multiplying the first term by the common ratio.

[ \text{Missing term} = \frac{3}{4} \times 4 = 3 ]

Therefore, the missing term in the sequence is 3.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
