Answer:
3\16
Step-by-step explanation:
movement of snail per hour,1/8×3/2=3/16
As an improper fraction, it would be -11/4
As a mixed number, it would be
-2 and 3/4
The scneario here expressed is an aritmetic sequence because it can be explained like this:
<span><span><span>a1</span>=35
</span><span><span>an</span>=<span>a<span>n−1</span></span>+<span>17
So all the variables can fit in and will be better explained than a geometric sequence in which you need a common ratio and that is not needed in this case</span></span></span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a geometric sequence, consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
an = a1r^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
n represents the number of terms.
From the given sequence,
a1 = - 5
r = 15/- 5 = - 3
Therefore, the explicit rule for this sequence is
an = - 5(- 3)^n - 1
