Consider two geometric sequences a1,a2,a3,a4,…a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, \dots and b1,b2,b3,b4,…b_1, b_2, b_3, b_4, \dots Now let a1b1=3\frac{a_1}{b_1}=3 and a4b4=81\frac{a_4}{b_4}=81.

If rar_a is the common ratio of the first sequence and rbr_b the common ratio of the second, what is the value of rarb\frac{r_a}{r_b}?
