I want to determine a list, but I'm finding it difficult:

I need a list with the following characteristic:

ClearAll["Global`*"]
a=1.45;b=a*x;c=b*x;d=1;
list={a,b,c,d}

$\left\{1.45,1.45x,1.45x^2,1\right\}$

What would be the value of x?

  • $\begingroup$ It is valid for all x. Change the last line to: list[x_] = {a, b, c, d} $\endgroup$

One option is you use the NestList function:

Last[Solve[1.45x^3==1,{x}]]/.Rule->Set;
NestList[#1x&,1.45,3]

$\{1.45,1.28109,1.13185,1.\}$
